Machining inconel at CTTA has been one of our specialities for some time. We work with inconel 718 and inconel 625. They are used extensively in the most demanding of applications namely the automotive, medical and power industries.
It is a difficult alloy to work as its high strength, good oxidation, fatigue and creep resistance at high temperatures are also qualities that require high forces and temperatures whilst machining. Productivity can be affected as high tool wear may result. There are several solutions to this problem, and we apply them at CTTA.
