Inconel 718 & 625 — high-temp aerospace & energy parts.
High-nickel super-alloys that retain strength at 1300°F+. Aerospace turbine components, energy/oil-and-gas downhole hardware. Machined with carbide tooling, controlled feeds, and tight thermal management. AS9100D + ITAR.
Strain-hardens fast — you cut it once.
Inconel work-hardens aggressively. Light cuts and feeds you'd use on stainless will glaze the surface and ruin tool life. K+G's feed strategies push through the work-hardening zone in a single pass per feature — and the platform tracks tool consumption so the cost of the carbide stays predictable.
Inconel 718
Most common grade. Used in aerospace turbine disks, rocket motors, structural hot-section parts. Heat-treatable for highest strength after final machining.
Inconel 625
Better corrosion resistance than 718, slightly lower strength. Common in chemical processing, marine, and downhole oil & gas.
Tooling & programming
Coated carbide, ceramic, or CBN depending on operation. Programs avoid dwelling and prioritize chip evacuation — Inconel chips are stringy and re-cut quickly.
Aerospace + energy.
Inconel rarely shows up outside aerospace, energy, and chemical processing. Click through to the most likely application.
Aerospace
Turbine disks, hot-section structural, rocket motor components. AS9100D.
/ CapabilityCNC milling
Inconel turbine housings, structural brackets — 5-axis where geometry needs it.
/ CapabilityCNC turning
Inconel shafts, flanges, valve bodies for energy + aerospace.
/ CapabilityWire EDM
When Inconel is harder than what milling can productively cut, wire EDM takes over.
