Editing Monel (section)

===Marine applications===
Monel's corrosion resistance makes it ideal in applications such as piping systems, pump shafts, seawater valves, trolling wire, and strainer baskets. Some alloys are completely non-magnetic and are used for anchor cable aboard [[minesweeper (ship)|minesweepers]]<ref>{{cite journal |doi= 10.1021/ie50526a033 |title= Nickel and High-Nickel Alloys |year= 1953 |last1= Teeple |first1= H.

In recreational boating, Monel is used for wire to seize shackles for anchor ropes, for water and fuel tanks, and for underwater applications. It is also used for propeller shafts and for keel bolts. On the popular Hobiecat sailboats, Monel rivets<ref>Hobie part number 8010261</ref> are used where strength is needed but stainless steel cannot be used due to corrosion that would result from stainless steel being in contact with the aluminum mast, boom, and frame of the boat in a saltwater environment.

Because of the problem of [[electrolytic]] action in salt water (also known as [[Galvanic corrosion]]), in shipbuilding Monel must be carefully insulated from other metals such as steel. ''The New York Times'' on August 12, 1915 published an article about a {{convert|215|foot|adj=on}} yacht, "the first ship that has ever been built with an entirely Monel hull," that "went to pieces" in just six weeks and had to be scrapped, "on account of the disintegration of her bottom by electrical action." The yacht's steel skeleton deteriorated due to electrolytic interaction with the Monel.<ref>{{cite journal |url=https://query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9802EEDD1138E633A25751C1A96E9C946496D6CF |title=New York Times, August 12, 1915: Big Yacht Now Junk After Six Weeks Use |journal=The New York Times |date=August 12, 1915 |access-date=May 13, 2010 |archive-date=May 23, 2009 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090523053612/http://query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9802EEDD1138E633A25751C1A96E9C946496D6CF |url-status=live }}</ref>

In seabird research, and [[bird banding]] or ringing in particular, Monel has been used to make bird bands or rings for many species, such as [[albatross|albatrosses]], that live in a corrosive sea water environment.<ref>{{cite journal |jstor= 1521133 |title= Band Wear and Band Loss in the Great Lakes Caspian Tern Population and a Generalized Model of Band Loss |first= James P. |last= Ludwig |journal= Colonial Waterbirds |volume= 4 |year= 1981 |pages= 174&ndash;18 |doi= 10.2307/1521133}}</ref>
