Our Monel K500 Spring Wire is crafted from a nickel-copper alloy, packing about 66% nickel and 30% copper, with aluminum and titanium added to boost its strength and corrosion resistance. This alloy is a powerhouse, offering higher strength than Monel 400 while maintaining excellent resistance to acids, alkalis, and seawater. It’s the go-to material for springs that need to perform in high-temperature environments without breaking a sweat.

This wire is a beast in extreme conditions. It holds up at 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 high-temperature project perfectly, whether it’s for a jet engine or a refinery system.
