I am only commenting on the description given in the question of Inconel and Monel as being exotic stainless steels. Inconel has a maximum of 11% Fe and Monel has a maximum of 2.5% Fe. These are special metal alloys, not stainless steels. Both products are usually used in high temperature, and/or aggressive environments in place of stainless steel or other metals.
