Annealed Monel has a conductivity of only 3.4% that of annealed copper wire.
Semiconductors have conductivities in the range 10^-6 to 10^5 S/m. Monel is about 20 times more conductive than the most conductive semiconductor. Therefore, Monel is a conductor. But, compared to good conductors like silver (63 MS/m), copper (57 MS/m), gold (45 MS/m), and aluminum (35 MS/m), Monel (2 MS/m) is not very highly conductive.
In summary, Monel is a poor conductor, but a conductor none the less.

What is the best insulator for metal wire?
A wire is a conductor. It is usually coated with an insulator to isolate the current flowing in the conductor portion of the wire from other things around the wire, like your hand.
What terms describe the metallic core of a wire?
conductorThe core of a wire is the center, the metal part. And insulator is the wrapping on the outside, and it makes sure that the electricity doesn't harm you. Electricity must have a conductor to work, and metal is an excellent conductor.
Is chalk an insulator or an conductor?

Is butyl a conductor or insulator?
Butyl rubber is an insulator, popular in covering wire.
Is a platsic casing of the wire is conductor or insulator?
Not sure about platsic but the plastic casing is an insulator.
Is steel spoon is conductor or insulator?
A steel spoon is an excellent conductor of heat.ANSWER: Conductor
Is solder wire insulator?
Solder will conduct electricity, so is not an insulator.
Is plastic wrapped around the electric wires is a good conductor?
Plastic wrapped around the wire is insulator. Not a conductor. That is why it is wrapped around the conductor wire.
What is the best insulator for metal wire?
A wire is a conductor. It is usually coated with an insulator to isolate the current flowing in the conductor portion of the wire from other things around the wire, like your hand.
Why does a copper wire act as an insulator?
It doesn't, it is a conductor of heat and electricity.
Is a copper wire an insulator or conductor?
Conductor, it is actually one of the best conductors for both heat and electricity.
