Monel K-500 Annealed Monel K-500 Wire
Soft wire that forms and coils before the aging cycle runs.
Request Availability →Monel K-500 Wire
Monel K-500 wire to ASTM B865 in annealed and spring-temper states, aged for loaded springs and marine hardware.
Aging Sets the Strength
Aluminium and titanium in this Monel K-500 wire precipitate during the aging cycle, so yield lands near three times the Monel 400 figure.
Non-Magnetic by Nature
Moreover, permeability in this Monel K-500 wire stays near unity, which keeps survey and instrument parts reading clean.
Sour Service Under a Cap
Furthermore, we hold this Monel K-500 wire to the 35 HRC ceiling that NACE MR0175 sets for H2S-bearing duty.
PRODUCT OVERVIEW
About Monel K-500 Wire
Monel K-500 wire arrives in UNS N05500, the age-hardenable nickel-copper alloy that carries aluminium and titanium in its balance. Seawater, brine and de-aerated reducing acids meet this Monel K-500 wire at roughly triple the Monel 400 yield floor.
We supply Monel K-500 wire to ASTM B865 and ASME SB865 in solution-annealed, age-hardened and cold-drawn conditions. Your order for this Monel K-500 wire carries heat-number records and EN 10204 3.1 paperwork for goods-in checks. Besides, the aging cycle, section and finish on the wire are agreed before the heat is booked.
Meanwhile, the chemistry and the design values behind Monel K-500 wire sit on our Monel K-500 material page for cross-reference.

Monel K-500
Four Delivery States
For example, this Monel K-500 wire ships annealed, annealed and aged, spring temper, or spring temper and aged.
01
Strength Through Aging
Specifically, aging lifts this Monel K-500 wire past 950 MPa without a heavier drawing pass.
02
Spring Temper Reach
In addition, this Monel K-500 wire runs from 1000 to 1300 MPa before aging and higher still afterwards.
03
Essentially Non-Magnetic
Moreover, permeability in this Monel K-500 wire stays near unity at ambient temperature.
04
Seawater and Sour Duty
This Monel K-500 wire holds its surface in flowing seawater and in de-aerated reducing media.
05
SCC Review on Aged Stock
However, aged this Monel K-500 wire is more crack-sensitive in some media, so we review HF, mercury and sour duty with you.

MANUFACTURING PROCESS
Reliable Production For Critical Applications
Wire production for Monel K-500 wire runs from charge weighing to final spooling. We log every stage of this Monel K-500 wire route against its heat number.
01
Charge Weighing
We weigh refined nickel and cathode copper and add the aluminium and titanium this Monel K-500 wire needs.
02
Melting and Casting
First, the charge for this Monel K-500 wire melts and casts into electrode stock.
03
Hot Rolling to Rod
Next, hot rolling reduces cast stock into drawing rod for this Monel K-500 wire.
04
Solution Annealing
Then, we solution-anneal and quench this Monel K-500 wire to hold the hardening elements in solution.
05
Wire Drawing
After that, successive dies pull this Monel K-500 wire down to the ordered diameter.
06
Intermediate Anneals
Because this Monel K-500 wire work-hardens quickly, we soften it between drawing passes.
07
Temper and Aging
Subsequently, the last reduction sets this Monel K-500 wire to the ordered temper, and aging follows where the order calls for it.
08
Coiling and Release
Finally, we wind this Monel K-500 wire onto coils and spools and clear the heat for dispatch.

TECHNICAL INFORMATION
Technical Specifications
Detailed technical information including chemical composition, mechanical properties, standards and available dimensions.
Chemical Composition
UNS N05500 carries the same nickel balance as the 400 grade and adds aluminium at 2.30% to 3.15% together with titanium at 0.35% to 0.85%. Consequently, this wire draws its strength from a controlled aging cycle rather than from a drawing pass. Besides, the copper window runs from 27.0% to 33.0%.
For the full element-by-element limit set, open the composition breakdown held on the Monel K-500 material page for this wire.
Mechanical Properties
Typical room-temperature ranges for UNS N05500 wire appear below, taken from published Alloy Wire International data and aligned with the ASTM B865 aged minima. Therefore the ordered temper and diameter decide the acceptance values for Monel K-500 wire.
| Temper | Typical Tensile Strength | Typical Yield Strength (0.2%) | Typical Elongation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Annealed (soft) | Under 850 MPa (123 ksi) | 200–415 MPa (30–60 ksi) | 15–30% |
| Annealed and aged | Over 950 MPa (138 ksi) | 620 MPa (90 ksi) min. | 15% min. |
| Spring temper | 1000–1300 MPa (145–189 ksi) | 690–900 MPa (100–130 ksi) | 5–15% |
| Spring temper and aged | 1200–1500 MPa (174–218 ksi) | 900–965 MPa (130–140 ksi) | 3–10% |
- Alloy Wire International publishes these ranges for UNS N05500 wire, and ASTM B865 sets the acceptance minima for the aged condition, so the ordered temper and diameter govern final release on this Monel K-500 wire.
Physical Properties
Published references place this wire at a density near 8.44 g/cm³ with a melting range of 1315–1350 °C. Moreover, the Curie temperature sits near −101 °C, so this wire stays essentially non-magnetic at ambient temperature.
Meanwhile, the physical properties table on the Monel K-500 material page holds the thermal conductivity, the electrical resistivity and the remaining design values behind this wire.
Delivery Conditions
Monel K-500 wire ships in the delivery states below. Specifically, the ordered temper fixes the state before aging, and the certificate records the cycle that followed.
| Delivery State | Typical Diameter | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Annealed (soft) | 0.025–21 mm | Softest state, formed and coiled before the aging cycle |
| Annealed and aged | 0.025–21 mm | Aged after forming, delivered at full aged strength |
| Spring temper | 0.10–8.0 mm | Heavily reduced, holds a set before aging runs |
| Spring temper and aged | 0.10–8.0 mm | Strongest wire state, for loaded springs and clips |
Delivery note: Monel K-500 gains its strength from precipitation, so the ordered temper sets the state before aging and the certificate records the cycle that followed.
Standards
ASTM B865 from ASTM International reaches cold-worked wire of this wire directly, so wire orders ship against that document alongside DIN 17753 and ISO 9724. Moreover, QQ-N-286 and BS 3075 NA18 cover this wire for defence and British programmes.
| Standard | Product or Application |
|---|---|
| ASTM B865 | Cold-worked wire of UNS N05500 |
| QQ-N-286 | Legacy defence document for wire |
| DIN 17753 / ISO 9724 | European and ISO wire documents |
Finally, the full standards list on the Monel K-500 material page adds the European designations, the defence documents and the fastener specifications behind this wire.
Dimensions
Dimensions of Monel K-500 wire follow the manufacturing route, the standard and the order quantity. Therefore, the table below lists typical supply ranges, so please confirm your size in the inquiry.
| Product Form | Typical Supply | Length |
|---|---|---|
| Wire (Coil or Spool) | 0.025–21 mm dia., typical | Coil, spool or custom |
| Fine Wire | 0.025–0.80 mm dia. | Spool |
| Spring-Temper Wire | 0.10–8.0 mm dia. | Coil or spool |
| Spring-Temper and Aged Wire | 0.10–8.0 mm dia. | Coil or spool |
| Straightened and Cut Wire | 1.0–10 mm dia. | Straight lengths |
| Custom Wire | To drawing | Custom |
Available sizes of this Monel K-500 wire depend on the manufacturing route, the standard, the material condition and the order quantity. Please confirm your required wire size, section and length in the inquiry.
Surface Finishes
Finish decides what the next operation does to this material, whether that is a turning pass, a grinding pass or an aging cycle. Specifically, we fix the finish on this Monel K-500 wire before the order is released.
| Surface Condition | Typical Use |
|---|---|
| Spring Temper | Heavily reduced wire that holds a set before any aging cycle runs. |
| Spring Temper + Aged | Drawn to spring temper and then aged, the strongest state for this wire. |
| Spool Wound | Layer-wound wire so the GMAW feeder runs without tangling. |
Meanwhile, the surface finishes table on the Monel K-500 material page lists the remaining conditions we quote for this wire.
