Monel Welding Services
Stronger than pure nickel and extremely corrosion resistant, Monel is a malleable material resistant to damage caused by acids and alkalis. Superior Joining Technologies, Inc. has years of experience manufacturing precise, high-quality CNC machined Monel components. We also offer Monel welding services and Monel NDT inspection services.
Monel is a collection of nickel alloys made mostly of copper and nickel. This metal also has small amounts of manganese, iron, silicon, and carbon. It is used by engineers in applications with highly corrosive conditions that require greater strength and is therefore commonly used to manufacture military and aerospace components.
Properties & Benefits of Monel
- High strength
- Good corrosion resistance
- Works in a variety of temperatures
- Expensive
- Resistant to acids
- Malleability
- High-temperature resistance
CNC Monel Machining
Superior Joining Technologies, Inc. manufactures CNC machined Monel components that exceed our customer’s quality expectations. Machining Monel is difficult and requires experienced machinists who work hard to avoid mistakes and subsequent waste. We specialize in tolerances as close as +/-.0002” and have machined many specialty metals – such as Monel – over the years.
Monel GTAW Welding Services
Even though Monel is highly resistant to damage, it can be easily welded. Still, experienced and certified welders – such as those at Superior Joining – have a leg up in handling this material. Our welders ensure that no costly mistakes are made with this expensive metal. We offer laser, manual GTAW or TIG, and Micro-Tig welding services to successfully weld Monel components.
Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) Services
To ensure products don’t fail due to undetected flaws in base materials, Superior Joining Technologies, Inc. provides Monel NDT inspection services. We are a Nadcap accredited leading provider of surface flaw detection assessments and specialize in proving parts for critical functions are fit for purpose.
Superior Joining Technologies offers the following Monel NDT inspection services.
- Visual inspection
- Liquid penetration inspection
- Magnetic particle inspection
