The specific composition of a Monel alloy depends on its desired properties and applications. In general, Monel alloys are known for their high strength and resistance to corrosion in both fresh and saltwater while also having excellent high and low-temperature resistance.

The three main Monel alloys, each of which has several variations, are listed below:

1. Monel 400: Monel has excellent resistance to attack by a number of corrosive agents, including seawater and strong acids - even hydrofluoric acid. It is a tough, high-strength alloy that can only be cold worked, not heat treated, for additional increases in strength. Monel 400 is machinable but presents some challenges. The alloy work hardens under the action of the cutting tool and requires close attention to feed and speed settings and tool wear.
2. Monel R-405: This alloy has the same composition as Monel 400 except for a small increase in the sulfur content (from 0.024 to 0.06 %). The additional sulfur gives R-405 better machinability than the 400 grade by creating nickel-copper sulfide inclusions in the material that act as chip breakers.
3. Monel K-500: This alloy is a high-strength variant of Monel with small amounts of aluminum and titanium added to the basic formula. It has all the advantages of standard Monel 400, but with increased hardness and strength from precipitation hardening heat treatments. 

The main advantages that Monel offers are

    high corrosion resistance to acids and alkalis.

    resistance to alkalis.

    good ductility (easy to shape and form)

    ease of welding, brazing, and soldering

    high mechanical strength

    availability in different forms like sheets, plates, rods, bars, pipes, and tubes

    attractive appearance and finishes. 

    ability to hold up in high-temperature situations as well as low temperatures

Due to fabrication by hot- and cold-working, machining, and welding, Monel is extensively used in marine and chemical processing fields. However, the material is costly so can only be used where cheaper alternatives are not available. Usually, Monel piping is more than 3 times as expensive as compared to carbon steel pipe. 

Typical applications of Monel are 

      valves and pumps;       pump and propeller shafts;       electrical and electronic components;       crude petroleum stills, boiler feedwater heaters, marine fixtures, and fasteners;

      gasoline and water tanks;       fuel tanks;     springs;     chemical processing equipment;     process vessels and piping;      heat exchangers;     metal instruments;     deaerating heaters;

      musical instruments;     refrigerators;     film processing;     kitchen sinks;     roofing;     and eyeglass frames. 

Monel is available in a pipe, fittings, plate, strip, round bar, strip, tube, sheet, and wire form.
