Monel 400 strip is produced by which is available in a wide range of Monel nickel-copper alloy 400 strip sizes. It is a kind of nickel-copper alloy that combines the excellent corrosion resistance characteristic. Monel 400 has the added advantage of greater strength and hardness. These amplified properties, including strength and hardness, are achieved by adding aluminum and titanium to the nickel-copper base and through a thermal processing technique known as age hardening or aging.

This nickel alloy is spark resistant and non-magnetic to -200° F. However, it is possible to develop a magnetic layer on the surface of the material during processing. Aluminum and copper may be selectively oxidized during heating, leaving a magnetic nickel-rich film on the outside. Pickling or bright dipping in acid can remove this magnetic film and restore the non-magnetic properties.
