What engine are you making them for. A little more information would be helpful.

Monel is a high Nickel content alloy developed for use in high temperatures, such as gas turbines, so you should have no problems with creep, or corrosion in a steam loco!

Have no idea how it machines!

Monel is used a lot for tubing as it is very ductile and corrosion proof. It it quite soft, so using sharp tooling will be required. Silver coinage is a similar cupro nickel alloy.
