Monel K500 Strip for High-Pressure Pump Diaphragms
Our Monel K500 strip is a total powerhouse for high-pressure pump diaphragms, built to keep pumps running strong in the toughest environments. This nickel-copper alloy, with about 65% nickel, 30% copper, and a kick from aluminum and titanium, is our go-to for applications where strength, corrosion resistance, and flexibility are critical. Whether it’s diaphragms, seals, or flexible components in marine, oil, or chemical pumps, this strip delivers.

What makes Monel K500 strip stand out is its incredible mechanical strength and hardness, thanks to the aluminum and titanium additions. It’s perfect for pump diaphragms that need to handle intense pressure, vibrations, and corrosive fluids like seawater or acids. This strip resists pitting and stress corrosion cracking, ensuring your diaphragms stay reliable, even under extreme conditions.
This strip’s versatility is a big win. It’s stable up to 650°C, which is great for pump applications in high-heat environments, like those pumping hot fluids in subsea rigs or chemical plants. Its moderate electrical conductivity (~3-4% IACS) is useful for systems with electrical integration, and its high fatigue resistance ensures it holds up under constant flexing. From offshore platforms to chemical facilities, Monel K500 performs like a champ.

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 pump diaphragms to ensure maximum strength and corrosion resistance in harsh environments. We keep pricing competitive, especially for bulk orders, without cutting corners 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 K500 strip is a standout. Monel 400 is great for corrosion resistance but lacks K500’s strength for high-pressure pump diaphragms. Stainless steel 316 is tough but struggles with chloride corrosion in seawater, unlike K500. Inconel 625 is awesome for extreme heat but pricier and less fatigue-resistant in some cases. Our strip is the ultimate choice for durable high-pressure pump diaphragms.
We craft our Monel K500 strip to meet strict standards like ISO 9001, ensuring quality you can trust every time. Whether you’re building diaphragms for subsea pumps or seals for chemical systems, this strip’s ready to perform. Got a unique spec in mind? Let us know, and we’ll make it happen.
