The Monel fasteners are produced from a nickel-copper superalloy typically containing 29–33 percent copper alongside the balance nickel, with minor additions of carbon, iron, manganese, and silicon. Various grades of Monel bolts can contain up to 67 percent nickel, and some high-strength variants incorporate aluminum or titanium for added tensile performance.
Monel threaded rods are prized for their outstanding corrosion resistance in both acidic and alkaline media, as well as their robust mechanical strength. Monel stud bolts offer excellent formability, allowing them to be shaped into complex geometries, and Monel 400 hex bolts are valued for their attractive finishes and relatively low cost. However, Monel alloys can work-harden rapidly and are known for challenging machinability. Importantly, Monel 400 threaded rods maintain their corrosion resistance even under harsh conditions.
When ASME SF467 UNS N04400 stud bolts come into contact with aluminum, zinc, or iron in aggressive environments, galvanic corrosion of the less noble metal may occur, so compatibility should be confirmed before specifying them. Monel 400 screws also exhibit superior high-temperature performance compared to many stainless steels, with service limits up to 1000 °C. These properties make Monel 400 socket-head cap screws ideal for heat exchangers, pumps, valves, and fittings in marine, chemical processing, and hydrocarbon applications.

Frequently Asked Questions About Monel Fasteners
What are Monel fasteners?
Monel fasteners are high-performance components such as bolts, nuts, screws, studs, and washers, made from Monel, a nickel-copper alloy renowned for exceptional corrosion resistance, strength, and durability in marine, chemical, and aerospace applications.
What is Monel used for?
Monel is widely employed in marine engineering (propeller shafts, valves, pumps), chemical processing (acid-handling equipment), oil and gas (oil well tools, refineries), aerospace (coatings, fasteners), and musical instruments, owing to its corrosion and temperature resistance.
Is Monel better than titanium?
Monel offers superior corrosion resistance and strength compared to titanium but is heavier and less heat-resistant. Titanium excels in strength-to-weight ratio and high-temperature stability, making each alloy better suited to different applications.
Is Monel stronger than steel?
Yes. Monel alloys demonstrate higher tensile strength (up to 125,000 psi cold-worked) and better toughness than many stainless steels, maintaining strength and ductility under extreme temperatures where steel may embrittle.
