While Monel K500 is considered to be akin to Alloy 400, the difference noticed between these two is that the former has added tensile strength and improved hardness properties. The precipitation hardening that occurs in the matrix of the alloy used to manufacture the Monel K500 seamless tube on account of the addition of Aluminium and Titanium, which leads to improvement in its mechanical properties. Although it is noted that the mechanical properties of the Ni K500 Cold Drawn Tube have been enhanced, partially due to the controlled heat treat cycles during its production.

Heat treatment of the Monel Alloy K500 Tubing generally involves solution and process annealing, which is then followed by an age hardening. The addition of aluminium and titanium are superintended for age hardening that occurs in this alloy. Solution annealing the Monel K500 Tube will affect the solution of any phases which could later affect the age hardening process in the alloy.
The Age hardening process is executed for a period of 16 hours at between a temperature range of 1100ºF to 1125ºF. This process is followed by furnace cooling the Monel K500 Tubing between 15ºF or 25ºF per hour to 900ºF for soft material But in the case of moderately cold-worked Alloy K500 Tubing, the cooling process is to last for about 8 hours. For fully cold-worked Nickel Alloy K500 Tube, the temperature for age hardening is between 980ºF to 1000ºF for six hours, after which it is to be furnace cooled as mentioned previously.
