Monel Mesh includes monel 400 mesh and monel K500 mesh.

1. Monel 400 Mesh
Monel 400 Mesh offers intense resistance to the variety of corrosion conditions such as resistance to brackish water, steam, salt and caustic solutions. It significantly resists de-aerated hydrochloric acid and hydrofluoric acids. Monel 400 provides broad resistance to stress corrosion cracking in the fresh water and other corrosion conditions. It shows intense mechanical features at the subzero temperatures and firmness and toughness. It doesn't exhibit ductile to brittle transformation when quenched to fluid hydrogen temperature level.

2. Monel K 500 Mesh
Monel K500 Mesh offers excellent resistance to corrosion as well as large strength and hardness. The strength of this alloy is retained up to 1200oF however it shows ductility and toughness up to 400oF. It has very high melting temperature of 2400oF to 2460oF.

Reasons of domination of Monel K500 over Monel 400 Mesh
The Monel K500 alloy has almost three times higher yield strength and tensile strength as compare to Monel 400 mesh. In the age toughened form, it has larger competency against the stress corrosion cracking and offers more resistance to sour gas conditions.

Manufacture's Advices to Monel K500 alloy Mesh
The alloy shows non magnetic features and spark resistance up to 200oF but it is possible to produce the magnetic layer on the alloy's surface while processing. The copper and aluminum elements are specifically oxidized during heating that produce the magnetic nickel layer outside the alloy surface. The magnetic properties can be removed by pickling.
