Our Monel K500 Spring Wire is crafted from a nickel-copper alloy, blending about 66% nickel with 30% copper, plus aluminum and titanium to boost its strength and corrosion resistance. This alloy is a powerhouse, offering better strength than Monel 400 while maintaining excellent resistance to harsh chemicals like acids, alkalis, and seawater. It’s the go-to material for springs that need to perform in the brutal conditions of chemical processing plants.

This wire thrives in tough environments. It handles temperatures up to 1000°F (538°C), resists stress-corrosion cracking and pitting, and stays non-magnetic, which is critical for sensitive equipment like sensors. We offer full customization—diameters, tensile strengths, coil designs, and finishes—so you get springs that fit your chemical industry project perfectly, whether it’s for a reactor valve or a high-pressure pump.
