Monel Bar and Rod
Monel bar supplied to ASTM B164 - stock, custom sizes, global export.
Our Monel bar and rod collection brings together Monel 400 and K-500 - supplied as round, square and forged bar and rod for corrosive, high-temperature and strength-critical service across chemical, energy, marine and process industries.
Monel is a nickel-copper alloy with excellent resistance to seawater, brackish water and a wide range of acids and alkalis, plus good strength and toughness from sub-zero to moderate temperatures. K-500 adds aluminium and titanium for age-hardened strength while keeping the seawater resistance.
We supply Monel bar and rod from about 6 mm up to 300 mm diameter, with square, hex and forged shapes available, in the hot-rolled, cold-drawn or forged, in the solution-annealed or age-hardened condition, with ends, surface and tolerances prepared to order. Stock items, cut-to-length and made-to-order dimensions are available, every lot shipped with EN 10204 3.1 mill test certificate and third-party inspection on request.

Standards above are the most common procurement specifications; equivalents such as AMS, EN or GB may be supplied on request. Confirm the exact standard and condition for your grade before ordering.
Applications
Monel bar and rod are machined and forged into components that must hold strength and resist attack in aggressive service:
Marine & offshore
propeller shafts, pump shafts, valve trim and fasteners in seawater (400, K-500).
Chemical processing
caustic and hydrofluoric acid handling, heat exchangers (400).
Oil & gas
sour-gas and downhole components resistant to chloride stress cracking (K-500).
Salt production & brine
evaporators, drums and fittings (400).
Architectural & coinage
corrosion-resistant trim and marine hardware (400).
Frequently Asked Questions
What diameter range can you supply for Monel bar and rod?
Bar and rod from from about 6 mm up to 300 mm diameter, with square, hex and forged shapes available; both stock and custom sizes are available, cut to length.
What is the minimum order quantity?
Stock sizes from one piece; mill lengths or heavy plate are priced per project. Tell us the grade, size and quantity for a quote.
Do you provide MTC / EN 10204 3.1?
Yes - every lot ships with EN 10204 3.1 mill test certificate, and third-party inspection can be arranged.
What is the typical lead time?
Stock items ship within days; made-to-order material is typically a few weeks depending on size, condition and certification.
Can you supply non-standard sizes or conditions?
Yes - custom sizes, non-standard walls or special tempers are available on request; we also offer cutting and surface preparation.
What is the difference between 400 and K-500?
400 is the work-horse nickel-copper grade for general seawater and acid service; K-500 adds aluminium and titanium for age-hardened strength while keeping the corrosion resistance - use it where shafts and fasteners need higher strength.
