Monel Alloy K500 (NA18, N05500) is a precipitation hardening nickel copper alloy that retains the excellent corrosion resistance of Monel Alloy 400 with the added advantage of increased strength and hardness values that can be maintained up to 650ºC. It is widely used in marine environments due to its excellent corrosion resistance, and is often utilised in high-velocity seawater and in stagnant or slow-moving seawater.

Monel Alloy K500 (NA18, N05500) offers an exceptionally high dimensional stability and, as with Monel Alloy 400, its low temperature mechanical properties are very good with no transition temperature, making the alloy suitable for many cryogenic applications. It does, however, have a greater tendency toward stress-corrosion cracking in some environments when in the age-hardened condition, although it displays resistance in a sour-gas environment.
