Ni-Cu K500 (UNS N05500)
TECHNICAL DATA SHEET
Ni-Cu K500
(UNS N05500) NICKEL ALLOY
Chemical Composition Chemical Composition (wt%) limits as specified in ASTM B865*
Description
Alloy K500 is a precipitation hardenable, nickel-copper-aluminum alloy that combines the excellent corrosion resistance of Alloy 400 with the added advantages of greater strength and hardness. The increased properties are obtained by adding aluminum and titanium to the nickel-copper base, and by heating under controlled conditions so that submicroscopic particles of Ni3 (Ti, Al) are precipitated throughout the matrix. The thermal processing used to affect precipitation is commonly called age hardening or aging. Typical industrial applications for Alloy K500 include fasteners, springs and chains for marine service, pump and valve components for chemical processing facilities, as well as blades and scrapers used in pulp and paper production. Oil and gas production utilize Alloy K500 for drill collars, instruments, pump shafts, impellers and valves as well as for sensors and electronic components.
