The Monel K500 has excellent high-temperature strength and low-temperature toughness, and can withstand significant pressure and impact in both high and low temperature environments. In addition, the conductivity and thermal conductivity of the alloy are also good, which can meet the needs of engineering applications.
The processing difficulty of Monel K500 is relatively high, requiring the use of special processing equipment and tools. During the processing, this alloy is prone to cracking and deformation, which requires strict control and adjustment. In addition, due to the poor thermal conductivity of the alloy, temperature control is necessary during processing.
