Round Bar NA18 2.43375 UNS N05500 | 3⁄4" - 4" |
Alloy 500 is a precipitation hardenable copper nickel alloy, with minimum 63% nickel and the addition of titanium and aluminium that can be heat treated to give very high strength. The alloy has similar corrosion resistance to alloy 400 in a wide range of media including seawater, hydrofluoric acid, sulfuric acid and alkalies.
This alloy is supplied hot worked and aged (with cold worked mechanical properties)

Heavy machining of alloy 500 is best achieved when the material is in the annealed or hot-worked and quenched condition. It is common practice to machine slightly oversize, age-harden, then finish to size. However, age-hardened material can be finish machined to close tolerances and fine finishes. The alloy can be joined by industry-standard welding, brazing and soft soldering processes.
Alloy 500 provides excellent resistance to corrosion in seawater, oil and gas environments and a wide variety of industrial media. The corrosion resistance of alloy 500 is substantially equivalent to that of alloy 400 (non-hardenable nickel-copper alloy) except that when in the age-hardened condition, alloy 500 has a greater tendency toward stress-corrosion cracking in some media.
