Monel and Hastelloy are both high-performance nickel-based alloys widely used in demanding industrial environments. While they share excellent corrosion resistance and strength, their prices differ due to their composition, manufacturing complexity, and target applications. In this article, we’ll compare the typical prices of Monel and Hastelloy alloys to help buyers make informed decisions.
Monel is primarily a nickel-copper alloy, with Monel 400 being the most common grade. It offers excellent resistance to seawater, acids, and alkalis, making it ideal for marine and chemical processing applications.
Hastelloy is a trademark for a family of corrosion-resistant metal alloys primarily made from nickel, with molybdenum, chromium, cobalt, and iron. Popular grades include Hastelloy C276, C22, and B2. These alloys are known for their outstanding resistance to aggressive chemicals, especially in harsh oxidizing and reducing environments.
Note: Prices vary depending on grade, size, quantity, and supplier. These are reference prices based on the current market.
In general, Hastelloy alloys are more expensive than Monel due to their more complex chemical compositions and broader chemical resistance. For applications where cost efficiency is a priority and corrosion resistance is moderate, Monel can be a suitable choice. For extreme corrosion environments, especially involving strong acids, Hastelloy is often the better investment.
