Strength and hardness properties of Monel Alloy 400 at low temperatures

27-08-2024

Low-Temperature Performance: Monel alloy 400 exhibits excellent mechanical properties at extremely low temperatures.

Strength and Hardness: As the temperature decreases, its strength and hardness increase, but the impact on ductility and impact resistance is minimal. Even when cooled to liquid hydrogen temperatures, the alloy does not undergo a transition from toughness to brittleness.

Comparison with Iron-Based Materials: Unlike many iron-based materials that become brittle at low temperatures, Monel alloy 400 retains its toughness even at low temperatures, despite an increase in strength.

U.S. Navy Tear Test: Monel 400 demonstrates excellent ductility and toughness fracture characteristics at temperatures as low as -320°F (-196.67°C). The maximum load significantly increases as the temperature decreases.

Impact Tests: Impact tests conducted on heat-treated plates at liquid hydrogen and liquid helium temperatures show almost no reduction in impact resistance. The tests included samples with longitudinal and transverse orientations, as well as welded samples. No signs of brittle fracture were observed, and all welded specimens broke at the weld.

        Monel alloy 400's ability to maintain its performance in extreme low-temperature environments makes it an ideal material choice for applications under these conditions.
