The raw material of these fasteners is renowned as registered trademarks like monel alloy k-500. Being a PED certified Fasteners Manufacturer by TUV Rheinland,our fasteners are accompanied with EN 10204 3.1/3.2 certification. Monel K-500 Washers are available in hot forged,cold forged and bar stock machined conditions depending upon the order quantity.
Monel Alloy K-500 Is A Precipitation- Hardened Nickel-copper Alloy That Merges The Corrosion Resistance Of Monel Alloy 400 With Higher Strength And Hardness. It Possesses Low Permeability And Is Non-magnetic At Temperatures As Low As -150 Degrees F (-101 Degrees C). Widely Used For Various Industry Applications Such As Pump Shafts, Oil-well Tools And Instruments, Doctor Blades And Scrappers, Spring Valve Trim, Fasteners And Marine Propeller Shafts Etc.
Monel K 500 washers distribute clamp load over a wider bearing area, prevent surface damage, and accommodate bolt-hole oversize. TorqBolt manufactures Monel K 500 washers per ASME B18.21.1 / B18.22.1, DIN 125 / 126 / 127 / 9021, and ISO 7089 / 7090 / 7093 / 7094, in metric (M3–M100) and imperial (#4–4") sizes.
Plain Washer Dimensions
Monel K 500 plain washers are characterized by three critical dimensions: ID (clearance over bolt diameter), OD (load distribution area), and thickness (compressive stiffness). Standard tolerances are h13 on OD and H13 on ID per ISO 286-2; flatness 0.05 mm/100 mm and parallelism 0.05 mm/100 mm verified per lot. Edge break / chamfer per drawing.
Form Variants
Form A (regular) — DIN 125-A / ISO 7089, the default plain washer
Form B (large OD) — DIN 9021 / ISO 7093, for soft mating surfaces
Form C (heavy) — DIN 7349 / ISO 7094, for slotted holes / structural use
Spring (split) — DIN 127 / ASME B18.21.1, helical anti-vibration
Conical / Belleville (DIN 6796 / 2093) — preload maintenance
Hardness & Surface
Monel K 500 washers are hardness-controlled to balance load-distribution stiffness against surface damage to mating parts. Typical Vickers HV ranges: plain 140–180 HV; spring 380–440 HV; Belleville 460–540 HV. Surface finish Ra 1.6 µm or better; on critical sealing applications, Ra 0.8 µm available.
Special Patterns
TorqBolt produces Monel K 500 washers in square (DIN 436), fender (oversized OD), tab / lock-tang (DIN 462 / 463), and spherical seat washer + cup combinations. EN 10204 3.1 / 3.2 material certificates standard; NACE MR0175 / ISO 15156 on request.
Monel — Nickel-Copper Alloys
Monel alloys are 67% Ni / 33% Cu solid-solution alloys distinguished by uniform corrosion resistance in seawater, hydrofluoric acid, alkalis, and salt brines — environments where stainless steels fail by chloride pitting or copper-bearing alloys fail to alkalis. Monel was the first commercial nickel alloy and remains the default for offshore + chemical-processing fasteners requiring HF resistance.
Monel 400 (UNS N04400) is the base composition supplied in the as-annealed or hot-finished temper. Yield strength is moderate (~240 MPa min) but toughness extends to cryogenic service. Monel K-500 (N05500) adds Al + Ti for γ' precipitation hardening, raising yield to ~620 MPa after age hardening per AMS 4676 — the standard for high-strength shafting and fasteners in seawater. Monel R-405 is a free-machining variant.
Monel fasteners are produced per ASTM B164 (rod/bar) and supplied with EN 10204 3.1 / 3.2 certificates including stress-corrosion testing. Galvanic compatibility with copper-nickel piping makes Monel the natural mate for naval, desalination, and salt-evaporator service. NACE MR0175 sour-service compliance maintained when stress is below the SSC threshold for the specific heat-treat condition.
