ASTM B564 N04400 Monel400 Blind Raised Face Flange/BLRF Flange
What is material ASTM B564 Monel400?
ASTM B564 Monel 400 is a standard specification for nickel-copper
alloy forgings, which are commonly used in chemical processing,
marine engineering, oil and gas extraction, and other
high-corrosive environments. This material consists of a
combination of nickel and copper, along with small amounts of iron,
manganese, silicon, carbon, sulfur, and other elements. It exhibits
excellent resistance to corrosion, high temperatures, and stress
cracking, and is highly ductile and easy to form. ASTM B564 Monel
400 forgings are often used to create valves, flanges, fittings,
and other components that require high strength and durability in
harsh operating conditions.
