AMS 4730 / Monel 400 Nickel Copper Alloy Wire

Monel 400 nickel copper alloy wire is a ductile material and, with a combination of nickel and copper, is resistant to a wide variety of corrosive conditions. This alloy is most frequently applied in a range of environments going from mildly oxidizing through neutral and to moderately reducing conditions. Additional application areas of this material are in marine environments and other non-oxidizing chloride solutions.

Monel 400 wire (AMS 4730) is a single phase, solid-solution nickel-copper alloy that offers superior resistance to many corrosive environments over temperatures ranging from sub-zero to 800°F. This alloy is only hardenable through cold working rather than heat treatment.

Monel 400 has been widely used in a variety of industries and has been particularly useful in the marine industry and chemical processing industry. Typical applications include pumps and valves, propeller shafts, marine fixtures and fasteners, electronic components, springs, chemical processing equipment, freshwater and saltwater tanks, process vessels and piping, boiler feedwater heaters, and other heat exchangers.
