Monel 400 Plate for Seawater Desalination Tank Fabrication
Our Monel 400 plate is a rock-solid choice for seawater desalination tank fabrication, built to tackle the harsh saltwater environment without breaking a sweat. This nickel-copper alloy, with about 67% nickel, 30% copper, and a touch of iron and manganese, is our top pick for applications where corrosion resistance and durability are critical. Whether it’s tank linings, structural components, or full vessel fabrication, this plate keeps your desalination systems running smoothly.
What makes Monel 400 plate stand out is its incredible ability to resist seawater corrosion. High-flow saltwater or stagnant coastal waters? No problem. It’s perfect for desalination tanks, fighting off pitting and stress corrosion cracking to ensure long-lasting performance with minimal maintenance. This plate keeps your tanks leak-free, delivering clean water reliably.
This plate’s versatility is a big win. It’s stable up to 550°C, which is plenty for desalination tanks exposed to moderate heat, like those in pre-treatment or brine handling systems. Its moderate electrical conductivity (~3-4% IACS) is handy for systems with electrical integration, and its high ductility means it can handle mechanical stress without cracking. From coastal plants to offshore setups, Monel 400 delivers.
We love how easy this plate is to work with. Its excellent formability makes it simple to cut, weld, or shape into whatever your tank design needs—think large vessel panels or custom linings. Need a specific thickness, size, or finish? We can tailor it to fit your specs, ensuring smooth fabrication and keeping your project on track.
