Quantity
UNS N05500 Allen Head Bolt is manufactured from Monel K500 (2.4375), a high-strength, corrosion-resistant alloy, with dimensions of 1/2 inch diameter and 80mm length. Heat-treated to a hardness of 140-315 HB, it exhibits non-magnetic properties, ultra-high strength, and exceptional resistance to acids, alkalis, and harsh environments. Designed for extreme conditions—including high pressure, high temperature, and aggressive chemical exposure—it is the preferred fastening solution for chemical processing, marine engineering, and nuclear applications, ensuring long-term sealing integrity and structural safety under severe operating conditions.
UNS N05500 Allen Head Bolt leverages Monel K500’s unique γ' phase (Ni₃(Al,Ti)) precipitation strengthening, achieving 3x higher yield strength compared to Monel 400.
- Aging Treatment (595°C × 16h): Forms 10-30nm nano-sized γ' precipitates (15% volume fraction), increasing yield strength by 400MPa via Orowan dislocation pinning.
- Solid-Solution Strengthening: Contributions from Al (2.5-3.5wt%) and Ti (0.35-0.85wt%) add 150MPa strength.
- Cold Working (20% deformation, HCS state): Boosts yield strength up to 950MPa, while Monel 400 (requiring >50% cold work) suffers <10% elongation at 500MPa.
UNS N05500 Allen Head Bolt maintains 20-30% elongation due to its FCC austenitic Ni-Cu matrix, enabling superior dislocation glide.
- Precision Aging (595±5°C × 16±2h): Ensures uniform γ' distribution without coarsening.
- Over-Aging (>620°C): Causes γ' aggregation, reducing elongation (<15%) and promoting intergranular fracture.
- Fractography: Optimal UNS N05500 Allen Head Bolt shows ductile dimples, while annealed Monel 400 exhibits 100% ductile fracture (45% elongation).

(3) Additional Advantages
- Self-Lubricating Threads: Prevents galling in subsea flanges & LNG tanks.
- Self-Lubricating Threads: Prevents galling in subsea flanges & LNG tanks.
- Cryogenic Toughness: KIC >120MPa·√m at -162°C (outperforms stainless steel).
- Cost Efficiency: More economical than Inconel 718 (60% higher machining cost) and safer than super duplex steels (UNS S32750), which suffer σ-
phase embrittlement in high-sulfur environments.
Balancing strength, corrosion resistance, and cost, UNS N05500 Allen Head Bolt is the optimal choice for high-load, corrosive environments—particularly in marine, chemical, and nuclear industries. Its engineered microstructure and proven field performance ensure reliability where conventional fasteners fail.
