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 higher strength than Monel 400 while maintaining excellent resistance to sour gas, seawater, and acids. It’s the go-to material for springs that need to perform in the brutal conditions of oil and gas exploration and production.

This wire is a beast in extreme 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 oil and gas project perfectly, whether it’s for a pipeline valve or a deep-sea drilling tool.
