Monel K-500 Belleville disc springs
EN 16983ISO 6208
Monel K-500 disc springs put age-hardened strength in the nickel–copper alloy family into a flexing preload element. Working force, installed height and final material condition define the part more usefully than free diameter alone.

Heat Treatment
Annealed or age hardenedAnnealing provides a workable starting condition, while controlled aging develops the higher strength specified for age-hardened K-500.
What we can make in Monel K-500
Single disc
Use under a fastener or in a preload mechanism when a short axial space must provide spring force. Select by load at working deflection, not by bore and outside diameter alone.
Series stack
Alternate disc orientation when a joint needs more travel to accommodate thermal movement or seating loss. Total travel increases at approximately the single-disc load; guides keep the stack aligned.
Parallel stack
Nest discs in the same orientation when the available travel is small but more spring force is needed. Load rises at approximately the single-disc deflection, with friction affecting the real load-deflection response.

Manufacturing route
Disc blanks are cut and formed to the required cone height; thickness and edge quality control stress distribution through the working travel.
Heat treatment & final condition
Solution treatment and the specified aging condition are recorded against the production lot; final dimensions are checked after thermal processing.
Working performance
The spring heat-treatment condition is selected for working stress and temperature. Load at working deflection and permanent set are acceptance characteristics.
Where K-500 fits — and what matters
Offshore & Marine
Deck-equipment brackets and marine pump skidsMonel K-500 disc spring / belleville washers form preload stacks in the bolted mounts of deck-equipment brackets and marine pump skids. Working deflection allows the stack to accommodate movement while maintaining the designed spring force. The assembled contact is exposed to saltwater, deposits and neighbouring metals.
Water Treatment & Desalination
Membrane-skid and pump supportsMonel K-500 disc spring / belleville washers form preload stacks in the bolted mounts of membrane-skid and pump supports. Working deflection allows the stack to accommodate movement while maintaining the designed spring force. The water stream, cleaning cycle and retained liquid define exposure at the installed part.
Oil & Gas
Utility skids and instrument supportsMonel K-500 disc spring / belleville washers form preload stacks in the bolted mounts of utility skids and instrument supports. Working deflection allows the stack to accommodate movement while maintaining the designed spring force. Utility connections and pressure-boundary parts have separate acceptance requirements on the equipment drawing.
Same disc spring. Different material priorities.
Monel K-500 material dataInconel X-750
Age-hardened strength and a choice of hot-service heat treatments.
- Connection priority
- Force at working deflection and relaxation during dwell
- Spring treatment versus bolting treatment
- X-750 has several heat-treatment routes. The route for retained spring force is selected around relaxation and working stress; a bolting strength requirement calls for its own specified condition. At the loaded disc faces and stack contact edges, the relevant metal temperature can differ from the process or furnace set point.
Inconel 718
Precipitation-hardened strength for compact, highly loaded connections.
- Connection priority
- Force at working deflection and relaxation during dwell
- Strength after aging
- Machine-stock properties and final aged properties describe different states. The final heat-treatment lot and mechanical results establish the strength available in the installed part. At the loaded disc faces and stack contact edges, the relevant metal temperature can differ from the process or furnace set point.
Inconel 625
Solid-solution strength and resistance to aggressive process liquids.
- Connection priority
- Force at working deflection and relaxation during dwell
- Annealed or solution-annealed 625
- The delivery condition affects strength and high-temperature response. Keep the specified condition with the component’s mechanical acceptance; 718-style aging is not the strengthening route for 625. Include liquid retained at the loaded disc faces and stack contact edges in the exposure description.

Questions about K-500 disc spring / belleville washers
Can an alloy change preserve the same disc-spring rating?
Elastic modulus, yield behaviour and final condition influence the load–deflection curve. Recalculate and verify the working response for the selected alloy rather than carrying over a same-size steel disc’s rating.
