Alloy K-500 · UNS N05500
A Monel K500 socket head cap screw is a screw with a cylindrical head and hexagon socket. ASTM F468 (N05500) where specified, No. 0 (0.060 in.) – 1.500 in.; otherwise may be machined from ASTM B865 bar (UNS N05500), where applicable — finished requirements to the purchase specification or project drawing. Allen-type cap screws are used where the head must sit flush or space is tight.

Monel K500 Socket Head Cap Screw: Why K500 for socket head cap screws
Allen-type cap screws are used where the head must sit flush or space is tight. 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 |
