For vibrating screen mesh (crimped) in Monel 400, the controlling selection factors are the media being filtered, the cleaning regime and the service temperature. The grade data for Monel 400 is summarized below together with every specification supplied.
Why Choose Monel 400 for Vibrating Screen Mesh (Crimped)
The marine and chemical-processing specialist alloy. For vibrating screen mesh (crimped), this matters when excellent resistance to seawater, hydrofluoric acid and alkalis is the controlling requirement.
Alloy Properties
| Grade designation | UNS N04400 (2.4360) |
|---|---|
| Magnetic response | Slightly magnetic |
| Service temperature | approx. +540 °C |
| Corrosion characteristic | Excellent resistance to seawater, hydrofluoric acid and alkalis |
Corrosion Behavior in Filtration Service
Nickel-family alloys are specified for vibrating screen mesh (crimped) when stainless is not enough: Monel 400 for seawater and hydrofluoric acid, Inconel 600 for oxidation at extreme temperature, Hastelloy C-276 for hot chlorides and mixed acids, titanium for chlorides with weight savings. Match the alloy to the specific chemistry — they are not interchangeable.
Comparable Alloys
Between the special alloys, selection is chemistry-led: Monel 400 (HF, seawater), Inconel 600 (heat/oxidation), Hastelloy C-276 (broadest acid resistance), nickel 200 (caustic), titanium (chlorides, weight). 316L remains the cost benchmark — specify a special alloy only when the datasheet chemistry demands it.
