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 600I
- Inconel 625
