Age hardening or, simply known as precipitation hardening is a technique that makes use of heat treatment in order to increase the yield strength of malleable materials. This is why Precipitation hardened alloys such as Monel K500 Round Bar tend to exhibit higher strengths over conventional stainless steel ones. In fact, for this particular alloy, the yield strength exhibited by them is almost 3 times that of alloy 400. And the tensile strength for ASTM B865 UNS N05500 Bar Stock is about 2 times more than the former, and as before undergoing a precipitation hardening process, it is possible to increase its strength by the use of cold working.
As is typical of cold worked alloys, the Monel K500 Square bar not only has an exponential increase in tensile strength but also has a better finished surface. A better surface finish is ideal for applications, particularly because it reduces the risk of the UNS N05500 Bright Bar getting corroded by intergranular corrosion. Surfaces that lack finesse or surfaces that have granules present on them tend to easily get corroded as the oxygen atoms readily bond to the surface, thus ensuring corrosion.
Since the 2.4375 Alloy K500 Rod is a copper nickel alloy, its use is appreciated in the marine engineering industry. The presence of a higher content of copper in the Monel K500 Hex Bar improves the longevity, making it ideal for use in highly corrosive caustic solutions, as it is effective as it is in marine environments. This nickel-containing Monel K500 Flat Bar is also a spark resistant alloy.
