* Monel : Ni-Cu alloy, stronger than ordinary steel and used as structural materials requiring corrosion resistance
- R Monel : Excellent machinability
- K Monel : Excellent precipitation hardenability due to the addition of Al and Ti
* UNS
- Abbreviation of Unified Numbering Systems for Metals and Alloys
- Unified unique numbering system for metals and alloys
- A representative number that is compatible with metals and alloys defined in many material-related codes such as ASTM, AISI, ASME, AWS, etc.
* N : Nickel and nickel alloys
* UNS N05500 : 05XXX : Copper(precipitation-hardenable alloys)
