Has anyone tried Monel alloys?

They are >63% nickel and copper and other for the remainder.
They ignore sea water weather corrosion, so maybe are good for electrodes. One use has
been on aircraft for keeper wire that stops nuts coming off from vibration, so it is
available as wire as a standard sort of low cost product. Stainless steels are
mostly >75% iron, so they are lower cost, but -- when comparing to platinum...not much
difference.
