Monel K500 Tube for Durable Aerospace Fuel Lines
Our Monel K500 tube is a total beast for durable aerospace fuel lines, built to handle the toughest conditions in aircraft systems. This nickel-copper alloy, with about 65% nickel, 30% copper, and a kick from aluminum and titanium, is our go-to for applications where high strength, corrosion resistance, and reliability are non-negotiable. Whether you’re designing fuel lines or hydraulic tubing for commercial jets or military aircraft, this tube’s got you covered.
What makes Monel K500 tube stand out is its incredible mechanical strength and hardness, thanks to the aluminum and titanium additions. It’s perfect for fuel lines that need to withstand high pressure, vibrations, and fatigue during flight operations. Plus, it’s corrosion-resistant, shrugging off saltwater, humidity, and acidic environments, which is crucial for aircraft flying over oceans or in harsh weather conditions.
This tube’s versatility is a game-changer. It’s stable up to 650°C, which is plenty for aerospace fuel lines near engines or high-heat systems. Its moderate electrical conductivity (~3-4% IACS) is useful for applications with electrical integration, and its high fatigue resistance ensures it keeps performing under constant stress. From passenger planes to fighter jets, Monel K500 delivers top-notch reliability.
We love how workable this tube is, even with its extra toughness. You can bend, weld, or shape it into whatever your aerospace design needs—seamless tubes for high-pressure fuel lines or custom fittings for tight spaces. Need a specific diameter, wall thickness, or length? We can tailor it to fit your specs, keeping your production smooth and your components top-quality.
The aerospace industry’s pushing for materials that are strong, lightweight, and sustainable, and Monel K500 tube fits right in. It’s recyclable, which is awesome for eco-friendly projects, and its long lifespan means less waste from replacements. With global air travel booming—think new aircraft fleets, urban air mobility, and space exploration—demand for high-performance materials like Monel K500 is skyrocketing. Its durability also supports the trend toward low-maintenance, fuel-efficient aircraft designs.

Our Monel K500 tube sets the standard because we’re all about quality, customization, and customer success. We offer a wide range of diameters, wall thicknesses, and lengths, with fast delivery for both small and large orders. Our team dives into your project, optimizing the tube for your aerospace fuel lines to ensure maximum strength and corrosion resistance. We keep pricing competitive, especially for bulk orders, without cutting corners on quality. Our sustainable production process uses recyclable materials, aligning with green aerospace 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 tube is a standout. Monel 400 is great for corrosion resistance but lacks K500’s strength for high-pressure aerospace applications. Stainless steel 17-7 PH is tough but struggles with chloride corrosion, unlike K500. Titanium alloys are lightweight but pricier and less fatigue-resistant in some cases. Our tube is the ultimate choice for durable aerospace fuel lines.
We craft our Monel K500 tube to meet strict standards like ISO 9001, ensuring quality you can trust every time. Whether you’re building fuel lines for commercial jets or hydraulic tubing for military aircraft, this tube’s ready to perform. Got a unique spec in mind? Let us know, and we’ll make it happen.
