1. Introduction to Monel 400 WNRF Flanges
Monel 400 (UNS N04400) weld neck raised face (WNRF) flanges, manufactured under ASTM B564 standard, deliver
exceptional resistance to corrosive environments. As a nickel-copper alloy, Monel 400 maintains superior mechanical
properties from cryogenic temperatures up to 1000°F (540°C), making it ideal for critical applications in marine, chemical,
and oil & gas industries. These flanges ensure leak-proof performance under high-pressure conditions.
