Monel Bars

ARK Stainless Inc. is a trusted manufacturer and global supplier of premium-grade Monel 400 and Monel K500 Round Bars & Rods, known for their exceptional corrosion resistance, high tensile strength, and durability under extreme conditions. These bars and rods are widely used in marine engineering, chemical processing, aerospace, and power generation industries, where resistance to seawater, acidic and alkaline environments, and mechanical stress is critical.

Monel 400 offers excellent resistance to corrosion in a variety of harsh chemical environments along with good ductility and thermal conductivity. Monel K500 combines the corrosion resistance of Monel 400 with enhanced strength and hardness through precipitation hardening, making it ideal for high-pressure and high-stress applications such as aerospace fasteners, marine hardware, and valve components. Our products are manufactured to meet stringent international standards including ASTM B164 / ASME SB164, ensuring consistent quality, precise dimensions, and reliable performance for critical engineering uses.
