ASTM B163 / ASME SB163 Alloy K500 / UNS N05500 Nickel Alloy Seamless/Welded Tube For High Precision

Alloy K500 / UNS N05500 combines Alloy 400’s excellent corrosion resistance with greater strength and hardness as a result of adding aluminum and titanium and proper heat treatment to cause precipitation hardening.

Material Grade:  UNS N04400, UNS N05500,N06625, N06600, N06601, N10276, N08800,N08825 etc
Outer Diameter: 6mm-457mm
Wall Thickness: 0.75mm-20mm
Length: Normally fixed length 6m, can as per customer’s requirement
Standard: ASTM B163; ASTM B167; ASTM B444; ASTM B622 etc

Features:

Alloy K500 / UNS N05500 combines Alloy 400’s excellent corrosion resistance with greater strength and hardness as a result of adding aluminum and titanium and proper heat treatment to cause precipitation hardening. It is nonmagnetic at temperatures as low as -101℃. Alloy K500 / UNS N05500 has excellent dimensional stability which is very useful in high precision devices. Like Alloy 400, it does not undergo ductile-to-brittle transition at cryogenic temperatures as low as that of liquid hydrogen. Its tensile and yield strengths increase while ductility and toughness are only slightly impaired.

Applications:

Chemical process pump and valve components; paper production pulp processing doctor blades and scrapers; marine engineering chains, cables, fasteners and springs; electronic components; and oil and gas production non-magnetic housings, pump shafts and impellers.
