Monel 400 shows high strength and excellent corrosion resistance in a range of acidic and alkaline environments and especially suitable for reducing conditions. It also has good ductility and thermal conductivity. Monel 400 typically finds application in: marine engineering, chemical and hydro-carbon processings, heat exchangers, valves and pumps.
It is covered by the following standards: BS 3075, 3076 NA 13, DTD 204B and ASTM B164.
Large use of Monel 400 is made in the alkylation units, namely in the reacting section in contact with concentrated hydrofluoric acid.
