Monel Electrodes are welding electrodes made mainly from nickel and copper. They are designed to give strong welds, resist corrosion, and protect against grain boundary damage. These electrodes work well on both ferrous and non-ferrous materials, especially in areas where the weld needs to withstand corrosive acids such as phosphoric, sulphuric, and hydrofluoric acids.
