### **Product Introduction: Alloy 450 & Monel 450 Foil and Shim Stock** #### **Overview** We precision-manufacture ultra-thin foil and precision shim stock from two high-performance nickel alloys: **Alloy 450 (UNS N06450)** and **Monel 450 (UNS N05500)**. These thin-gauge materials combine the exceptional properties of their parent alloys with the versatility required for precision engineering applications. Our foil and shim products are available in various tempers and thicknesses to meet exacting dimensional and performance requirements. --- ### **Part 1: Alloy 450 (UNS N06450) Foil & Shim** Alloy 450 foil and shims leverage the alloy's outstanding high-temperature oxidation resistance in applications requiring thin, durable thermal barriers or high-temperature seals. #### **Key Features & Advantages** * **High-Temperature Stability:** Maintains integrity and resists oxidation in continuous service up to 1177°C (2150°F). * **Thermal Barrier:** Excellent for heat shielding and thermal management in confined spaces. * **Formability:** Can be stamped, formed, and shaped in the annealed condition. * **Low Creep at High Temperatures:** Ideal for gaskets and seals in elevated temperature applications. #### **Chemical Composition (Typical % Weight)** | Element | Content (%) | | :--- | :--- | | **Nickel (Ni)** | 73.0 min | | **Chromium (Cr)** | 14.0 -
