Default monel screws

Hi Steve,

when you describe monel as a stainless steel,
you defeat your position.

One additional point, Monel is a stainless steel alloy. It's primary use is
for high temperature strength and resistance to corrosion, 1000 degrees C
and higher. It will retain 90% of its room temperature strength when red
hot.

316, 316l, 316Ti, but like Monel, these alloys are all subject to crevice
corrosion.
