Monel:  Monel is a Nickel-Copper alloy. (67% nickel 30% copper, plus trace elements)  It has good corrosion resistance, and high-strength properties.  Applications for Monel include marine engineering, boilers, tanks, valves, and pumps.  It is para-magnetic; meaning it is attracted to a magnet, but will not adhere.  It is normally not plated, but can be cadmium & chromate plated per QQ-P-416 under certain specifications.  It is not heat-treated.  It is a very expensive material, due to the nickel content.  Head mark on MS20615 and NAS1200M series only, is an indented double dimple.

Solid:  A solid rivet is a one-piece rivet that is used to hold critical parts together, and contributes to the strength of the structure. Examples would be a rivet holding aluminum metal panels to the frames of an aircraft fuselage, or a rivet holding steel panels to the frames of a truck body.

Solid Rivets:  Solid rivets come in a wide variety of materials, head styles, and sizes, and are an ideal fastener to use where high strength, and a permanent tamper-proof joint are required.

Flange:  Large Flange Head.  In blind rivets, this style refers to a wide diameter protruding head, which is used when a large bearing surface is required.  Somewhat the same as a brazier head style in a solid rivet.
