monel screws
Has someone here an idea where to get screws from this excellent material monel? Google-searches where not successful after all. Thank you in advance, -wolfram |

Thank you in advance, -wolfram I'm guessing you may be posting from Germany. Here's a US source with (I think) a UK outlet - Wink. http://www.winkfast.com/monels-400.html There were plenty of other google hits on monel fastener catalog on line Brian W |

monel screws
Ezcellent? I don't think so. There are other materials far better for both
strength and corrosion resistance. There are reasons why they are hard to find. Steve "Wolfram Fassbender" wrote in message i.fu-berlin.de...

monel screws
Strong AND corrosion-resistant!
I'm all ears! Bronze? Particular brasses? Not stainless nor alloy steel nor mild steel certainly. Some aluminum alloys? possibly. nickel alloys (other than monel??) Titanium??

Thank you in advance, -wolfram I typed "+wood screws +monel" into google and got 7,400 hits. Seems like one of them might suit? Cheers, Bruce in Bangkok (bruceinbangkokatgmaildotcom) |

monel screws
Brian,
Please do the research if you disagree. Stainless fasteners exhibit far greater strength and fatigue resistance, which by the way is poor for the whole nickel alloy family and depending on the alloy, exhibit every bit as good resistance to corrosion. May I also point out that nickel alloys fasteners are not always the best solution for corrosive and electrolytic environments and that includes monel. So, assuming your application qualifies for a nickel alloy solution, why in the world would you choose monel, when SS is better and less expensive? Steve "Brian Whatcott" wrote in message ...

Show me the stainless alloy that does not corrode when submerged for
long in salt water, and I'm your man. BrianW Steve Lusardi wrote: Brian, Please do the research if you disagree.

Even 304 does not corrode rapidly and I have a 316 propeller shaft that I installed 10 years ago and still exhibits no corrosion. What, exactly are you planning on using these fasteners for? Certainly sufficient 3xx stainless is being used in the marine industry today that you should have confidence that this alloy will resist corrosion for a reasonable length of time.

monel screws
Can I guess that you are relying on zincs near the prop shaft?
That would be the ONLY reason the pitting was not severe.
