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,

I'm guessing you may be posting from Germany. Here's a US source with (I
think) a UK outlet - Wink.

There were plenty of other google hits on monel fastener catalog on line

Fastenal seems to have about cornered the commercial fastener market.

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.

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??

I typed "+wood screws +monel" into google and got 7,400 hits.

Seems like one of them might suit?

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?

Show me the stainless alloy that does not corrode when submerged for
long in salt water, and I'm your man.

Actually quite a few. 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.

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