Inconel CNC Machining

Inconel belongs to a family of austenitic nickel-chromium based super alloys. Inconel is often encountered in extreme environments; it is common in the aerospace industry for  gas turbine blades, seals, and combustors, as well as turbocharger rotors and seals, electric submersible well pump motor shafts, high temperature fasteners, chemical processing and pressure vessels, heat exchanger tubing,and  steam generators in nuclear pressurized water reactors.

Inconel is a difficult metal to shape and machine using traditional techniques due to rapid hardening. After the first machining pass, work hardening tends to plastically deform either the workpiece or the tool on subsequent passes. This is why you need a company like Heartland Enterprises with the expertise, experience and high quality machines for your large diameter Inconel CNC machining.

Common Inconel Alloys we CNC machine are:

• Inconel 718
• Inconel 901
• Inconel 625
