June 2010 1. Chemical composition

Monel K-500: Ni-Cu-Al

Incoloy 925: Ni-Fe-Cr

2. Corrosion Resistance

3. Mechanical property

4. Machinability Alloy 925 is easier to machine than alloy 718. The graph compares the machinability of alloys 718 and 925 with INCOLOY alloy 945. The data is generated using un-coated carbide tooling. Alloy 718 data is obtained from the literature.

6. Summary Incoloy 925 (44Ni-28Fe-21Cr-3Mo-1.8Cu) alloy has been compared with Monel K-500 (65Ni30Cu-3Al) alloy in terms of chemical composition, corrosion resistance, and mechanical property. Both alloys have an excellent corrosion resistance in most of corrosive environments. Both alloys are immune to chloride stress cracking. However, there is a higher crevice depth of Incoloy 925 than that of Monel K-500 in seawater (the presence of chloride, sulfate, bicarbonate, dissolved oxygen, etc.) at ambient temperature. There is no crevice attack on Incoloy 925 alloy if there is only 3.5% sodium chloride in a solution at ambient temperature. Machinability of Incoloy 925 alloy is better than that of Inconel 718 alloy. The proposed Incoloy 925 alloy bar possesses the mechanical property confirming to the mechanical requirements of Monel K-500 shaft in ASTM standard. The proposed Incoloy 925 alloy shaft has the higher yield/tensile strength and hardness than the current Monel K-500 shaft, however, it has a slightly lower elongation than the current Monel K-500 shaft.
