    Frequently Asked Questions

    What is Monel R-405 (N04405)?

    Monel R-405 (N04405) is the free-machining variant of Monel 400 with controlled sulfur (0.025-0.060%) added for chip-breaking on screw-machine equipment. Same Ni-Cu chemistry and corrosion resistance as N04400 with somewhat reduced hot-working ductility. Per ASTM F467 for high-throughput nonferrous fastener production where machinability matters.

    When do I choose Monel R-405 over Monel 400?

    Choose R-405 when bolts/screws are made on automatic screw machines and tight tolerances + clean chip break are critical. Choose N04400 for hot-formed parts, welded assemblies, or service requiring maximum impact toughness. Both are sea-water and HF-acid resistant per F467.

    Is Monel R-405 NACE MR0175 acceptable?

    Yes, with the same hardness controls as N04400. Listed in NACE MR0175 / ISO 15156 for sour service. The added sulfur in R-405 does not change the sour-service acceptance category.

    What sizes and dimensional standards apply?

    Same as Monel 400: ASME B18 inch + metric series, ASME B16.5 flange studs, ISO metric equivalents. TorqBolt routinely supplies R-405 across diameters 1/4 in. through 1-1/2 in. plus metric M6-M36.
