Monel R-405 Free Machining Alloy

Monel® R-405

UNS N04405 | Alloy R-405 | Free-Machining Monel

Monel R-405 is the free-machining version of Monel 400. It retains the excellent corrosion resistance and physical properties of Monel 400, but has a controlled amount of sulfur added to create sulfide inclusions that act as chip breakers during machining.

  • Formas comunes: Round Bar, Hex Bar, Rod, Wire.
  • Característica clave: Excellent machinability for automatic screw machines.
  • Resistencia a la corrosión: Similar to Monel 400 (resistant to sea water, acids, alkalis).
  • Standard: Primarily furnished as bar and rod (ASTM B164).
Why Choose Monel R-405?

Select Monel R-405 when you need the corrosion resistance of Monel 400 but your application involves high-volume production of complex parts on automatic screw machines. The sulfur additions significantly reduce tool wear and machining time.

Superior Machinability

The increased sulfur content creates manganese sulfide inclusions that break chips easily, allowing for higher cutting speeds and better surface finish.

Resistencia a la corrosión

Exhibits the same resistance as Monel 400 to sea water, hydrofluoric acid, sulfuric acid, and alkalis in most environments.

Ideal for Small Parts

Perfect for manufacturing intricate fasteners, valve components, and small hardware where machining cost is a major factor.

Composición química (%)
Elemento Contenido (%)
Níquel (Ni) 63,0 min
Cobre (Cu) 28.0 - 34.0
Hierro (Fe) 2,5 máx.
Manganeso (Mn) 2,0 máx.
Carbono (C) 0,3 máx.
Silicio (Si) 0,5 máx.
Azufre (S) 0.025 - 0.060

*Note: The higher sulfur content is the key difference from Monel 400.
