Editing Monel (section)

===Aerospace applications===
In the 1960s, Monel metal found bulk uses in [[aircraft]] construction, especially in making the frames and skins of [[experimental aircraft|experimental]] [[rocket plane]]s, such as the [[North American X-15]], to resist the great heat generated by [[aerodynamic]] [[friction]] during extremely high speed flight. Monel metal retains its strength at very high temperatures, allowing it to maintain its shape at high atmospheric flight speeds, a trade-off against the increased weight of the parts due to Monel's high [[density]].

Monel is used for safety wiring in aircraft maintenance to ensure that fasteners cannot come undone, usually in high-temperature areas; stainless wire is used in other areas for economy. In addition some fasteners used are made from the alloy.
