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 jet fuel, acids, and seawater. It’s the go-to material for springs that need to perform in the high-stakes, high-stress world of aerospace.

This wire thrives in extreme conditions. It handles temperatures up to 1000°F (538°C), resists stress-corrosion cracking and pitting, and stays non-magnetic, which is critical for sensitive aerospace components like avionics. We offer full customization—diameters, tensile strengths, coil designs, and finishes—so you get springs that fit your aerospace project perfectly, whether it’s for a jet engine or a precision sensor.
