Monel for industrial gaskets
Nickel-copper alloy with excellent resistance to acids and marine environments.
Monel is a nickel-copper alloy prized for its resistance to acids, seawater, and hydrofluoric acid service where stainless steel would corrode. It is a specialist choice — used less often than SS 304 or SS 316, but essential for the specific media it was designed to withstand.
Key properties
- Nickel-copper alloy
- Excellent resistance to acids and seawater
- Good mechanical strength
- Preferred for specific corrosive media
Typical gasket uses
- Acid service metallic gaskets
- Marine and chloride-influenced environments
- Specialty spiral wound and RTJ applications
- Custom engineered metal seals
Frequently asked questions
Is Monel suitable for hydrofluoric acid service?
Monel is often considered for certain acid services, including some HF-related applications, but final selection must match concentration, temperature, and design codes. Share your service conditions for confirmation.
Which gasket types can be manufactured in Monel?
We manufacture Monel spiral wound windings, RTJ rings, and custom engineered gaskets. Availability and lead time depend on size and grade — share your requirement and we will confirm.
