Monel K500 Wire for Corrosion-Resistant Pump Housing Covers
Our Monel K500 wire is a total champ for corrosion-resistant pump housing covers, built to keep pumps running strong in the toughest environments. This nickel-copper alloy, with about 65% nickel, 30% copper, and a boost from aluminum and titanium, is our go-to for applications where strength, corrosion resistance, and reliability are critical. Whether it’s covers, seals, or reinforcing mesh for pump housings in marine or chemical systems, this wire delivers.
What makes Monel K500 wire stand out is its incredible mechanical strength and hardness, thanks to the aluminum and titanium additions. It’s perfect for pump housing covers that need to handle high pressure, vibrations, and corrosive fluids like seawater or acids. This wire resists pitting and stress corrosion cracking, ensuring your pump housings stay protected and leak-free, even in harsh conditions.
This wire’s versatility is a major win. It’s stable up to 650°C, which is great for pump applications in high-heat environments, like those in subsea oil rigs or chemical plants. Its moderate electrical conductivity (~3-4% IACS) is handy for systems with electrical integration, and its high fatigue resistance ensures it holds up under constant stress. From offshore platforms to industrial facilities, Monel K500 performs like a pro.
We love how workable this wire is, even with its extra toughness. You can weave, bend, or shape it into whatever your pump housing design needs—think durable covers or fine mesh reinforcements. Need a specific diameter, strength, or finish? We can tailor it to fit your specs, making fabrication smooth and keeping your project on track.

Our Monel K500 wire sets the standard because we’re all about quality, customization, and customer success. We offer a wide range of diameters, strengths, and finishes, with fast delivery for both small and large orders. Our team dives into your project, optimizing the wire for your pump housing covers to ensure maximum strength and corrosion resistance in harsh environments. We keep pricing competitive, especially for bulk orders, without cutting corners on quality. Our sustainable production process uses recyclable materials, aligning with green industry 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 wire is a standout. Monel 400 is great for corrosion resistance but lacks K500’s strength for high-pressure pump applications. Stainless steel 316 is tough but struggles with chloride corrosion in seawater, unlike K500. Inconel 625 is awesome for extreme heat but pricier and less fatigue-resistant in some cases. Our wire is the ultimate choice for corrosion-resistant pump housing covers.
We craft our Monel K500 wire to meet strict standards like ISO 9001, ensuring quality you can trust every time. Whether you’re building covers for subsea pumps or seals for chemical systems, this wire’s ready to perform. Got a unique spec in mind? Let us know, and we’ll make it happen.
