Our Monel K500 Spring Wire is crafted from a nickel-copper alloy, blending about 66% nickel with 30% copper, plus a boost from aluminum and titanium for extra strength and corrosion resistance. This alloy is a beast, offering higher strength than Monel 400 while maintaining top-notch resistance to acids, alkalis, seawater, and sour gas. It’s the go-to material for heavy-duty springs that need to perform under intense stress and harsh conditions.
This wire is a powerhouse 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 heavy-duty project like a glove, whether it’s for a drilling rig or a chemical reactor.
