Monel 400 is a uniquely strong and durable material comprised primarily of Copper and Nickel. As a copper-nickel alloy, Monel 400 exhibits high strength and excellent corrosion resistance in a wide range of media, including sea water, as well as acidic and alkaline environments. Monel wire mesh specifications are often requested by naval shipyards and companies that specialize in marine technologies due to these characteristics. | |||||||||
In the wire mesh industry, Monel 400 wire is drawn to specific diameter wires and woven to certain specifications. Monel woven wire mesh is commonly used in high performance applications, aerospace, chemical and hydrocarbon processing equipment, as well as in valves, pumps, shafts, fittings and heat exchangers. With a few exceptions, non-industrial users rarely opt for Monel wire cloth due to its high cost and similar appearance to stainless steel.

Monel 400 woven wire mesh is generally sold in quantities less than full rolls due to the high cost and long life cycle of this wire mesh alloy.
