Monel K500 Hex BoltASTM F468 · ASME B18.2.1 · Manufacturer, trader & exporter, India
Alloy K-500 · UNS N05500
A Monel K500 hex bolt is a bolt with a hexagonal head. ASTM F468 (N05500) where specified, 0.250–1.500 in.; otherwise may be machined from ASTM B865 bar (UNS N05500), where applicable — finished requirements to the purchase specification or project drawing. Hex bolts join flanges, structures and equipment where one side is accessible for the head. Dimensions to ASME B18.2.1, or DIN 931 / 933 (legacy DIN) where an older specification calls for them.

Monel K500 Hex Bolt: Why K500 for hex bolts
Hex bolts join flanges, structures and equipment where one side is accessible for the head. Dimensions to ASME B18.2.1, or DIN 931 / 933 (legacy DIN) where an older specification calls for them. In Monel K500, the choice usually comes down to the medium and temperature — the rows here are the points buyers check for this exact combination.
| Why this grade | Nickel-alloy fasteners match nickel-alloy flanges in corrosive or hot service. Monel K500 is picked for high-strength pump shafts, bolting and springs in seawater. |
|---|---|
| Typical service | Marine — Propeller and pump shafts. |
| Bolting | B7 (coated), B8M or nickel-alloy studs in Monel K500 (bar to ASTM B865, where applicable), as the project specifies |
| Sour service | Listed in NACE MR0175 / ISO 15156-3 within its limits — state it on the order |
