What makes Monel 400 strip stand out is its incredible ability to resist seawater corrosion. High-flow saltwater or stagnant coastal waters? No problem. It’s perfect for heat exchanger fin stock, fighting off pitting and stress corrosion cracking to ensure long-lasting performance with minimal maintenance. This strip keeps your heat exchangers running smoothly, delivering efficient thermal performance in harsh marine conditions.
This strip’s versatility is a big win. It’s stable up to 550°C, which is plenty for marine heat exchangers operating at moderate temperatures, like those in ship engines or coastal power plants. 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 commercial vessels to offshore platforms, Monel 400 delivers.

Our Monel 400 strip sets the standard because we’re all about quality, customization, and customer success. We offer a wide range of widths, thicknesses, and finishes, with fast delivery for both small and large orders. Our team dives into your project, optimizing the strip for your marine heat exchanger fin stock to ensure maximum corrosion resistance and thermal performance. We keep pricing competitive, especially for bulk orders, without skimping on quality. Our sustainable production process uses recyclable materials, aligning with green industry trends. Plus, our hands-on support means you’re always covered—whether it’s technical guidance or a custom solution, we make it happen.
Compared to other materials, our Monel 400 strip is a clear winner. Monel K-500 is stronger but slightly less corrosion-resistant in seawater, making 400 the better pick for heat exchanger fin stock. Stainless steel 316 is tough but struggles with chloride corrosion in saltwater, unlike Monel 400. Pure copper’s a conductivity champ but corrodes fast in marine environments. Our strip is the go-to for corrosion-resistant marine heat exchanger applications.
We craft our Monel 400 strip to meet strict standards like ISO 9001, ensuring quality you can trust every time. Whether you’re building fin stock for ship engines or tube sheets for offshore platforms, this strip’s ready to perform. Got a unique spec in mind? Let us know, and we’ll make it happen.
