Nickel Alloy for CNC Machining

Nickel alloys, such as Inconel and Monel, are praised for their mechanical properties, including corrosion resistance, ductility, weldability, and strength.

Nickel alloys, also known as high-performance alloys, contain some nickel in their elemental makeup to improve some of their properties and make them better suited for applications outside their typical wheelhouse.

These are the main characteristics of nickel alloy, and why it’s the material of choice for many types of precision components:

  • Resistant to corrosion and oxidation
  • Exhibits high strength
  • Withstands heat up to 980°C
  • Highly ductile, resists breaking when bent
  • Magnetic, easily magnetized and demagnetized
  • Compatible with various welding techniques
  • Low thermal conductivity, increased in nickel-copper alloys
  • Low electrical conductivity, lower than pure copper or silver
  • Low thermal expansion coefficient, ideal for precision
  • Varied colors based on the alloying element

Monel 400

STRENGTH

Monel is an alloy typically composed of 66% nickel and 31.5% copper, with minor quantities of manganese, carbon, iron, and silicon. It is not produced using conventional direct ore smelting techniques but rather through precise computerized control in air induction furnaces. This specific composition endows Monel with exceptional strength and its most notable characteristic: outstanding corrosion resistance. It maintains its integrity in corrosive environments and high temperatures without deformation. Additionally, it is weldable and non-magnetic.
