Alloy K500 Round Bar

What is Alloy K500 Round Bar?

Alloy K500 Round Bar represents the pinnacle of precipitation-hardened nickel-copper alloy engineering, combining approximately 63% nickel, 30% copper with aluminum and titanium additions. This advanced material delivers exceptional strength up to 180 ksi yield strength while maintaining outstanding corrosion resistance in marine and acidic environments. Your projects benefit from its unique non-magnetic properties and superior fatigue resistance, making it indispensable for critical applications in aerospace, marine, and petrochemical industries. TSM Technology's precision-manufactured bars ensure dimensional accuracy within ±0.01mm tolerance, meeting the most demanding engineering specifications.

Technical Specifications

Physical & Chemical Properties

Applications

• Marine Engineering: Pump shafts, valve components, propeller shafts, and fasteners for offshore platforms where corrosion resistance is paramount.
• Aerospace Systems: Engine fittings, hydraulic system components, and structural elements requiring high strength-to-weight ratios in extreme environments.
• Petrochemical Industry: Downhole tools, reactor components, and processing equipment exposed to sour gas and corrosive media.
• Nuclear Applications: Reactor coolant system components requiring long-term stability under radiation exposure.

Production Process

Our manufacturing begins with vacuum induction melting to ensure chemical homogeneity. The material undergoes controlled forging to achieve optimal grain structure, followed by precision machining using our 85 CNC lathes and five-axis machining centers. Heat treatment creates the precipitation-hardened condition, while final surface finishing meets your specific requirements. Each step includes rigorous quality checkpoints to guarantee consistency.

Quality Assurance

• Non-Destructive Testing: 100% ultrasonic and eddy current testing detects internal defects, ensuring structural integrity for critical applications.
• Corrosion Testing: ASTM G28 intergranular corrosion testing validates performance in acidic environments, providing documented resistance data.
• Material Certification: Comprehensive Mill Test Reports include chemical analysis, mechanical properties, and traceability documentation meeting international standards.
• Third-Party Validation: Independent testing laboratories provide additional verification for aerospace and nuclear applications requiring external certification.
