Default Very Basic String Question

I've been playing stringed instruments over 40 years now, but I have a real noob question:

Are the plain (unwound) strings all the same metal? I mean if I took the B's and E's from a pack of monel, phosphor bronze, 80/20, aluminum bronze, etc. would they all be the same metallurgically? Or are they different? Thanks!
