Machining Inconel Explained
Machining Inconel involves using CNC technology to shape and fabricate components from Inconel alloys. These alloys are known for their exceptional strength and resistance to oxidation and corrosion. Due to the unique properties of Inconel, such as its toughness and work-hardening characteristics, machining it can be challenging. Effective machining requires careful selection of tools, cutting parameters, and techniques. This is to achieve the desired tolerances and surface finishes.
Our Inconel CNC Machining Services
Yijin Solution runs Inconel projects across CNC turning, CNC milling, and wire and sinker EDM. Our floor includes 3-, 4-, and 5-axis machining centers plus Swiss-type lathes built for long, slender Inconel parts.
- 3- and 4-axis milling: roughs and finishes complex Inconel geometries in fewer setups, cutting heat buildup and work hardening
- 5-axis machining centers: hold position on undercuts and angled features that would otherwise need multiple fixtures
- Swiss-type and CNC lathes: turn thin-walled, high length-to-diameter Inconel parts without chatter
- EDM (Electrical Discharge Machining): cuts intricate profiles and tight internal features conventional tooling can’t reach
Our CAM programmers build toolpaths around Inconel’s work-hardening behavior, and custom fixturing holds each part rigid to control chatter and heat buildup. Every component then passes through Zeiss CMM inspection before it ships.
Machining Inconel 718
Inconel 718 is a nickel-chromium alloy known for its high strength and excellent oxidation resistance at elevated temperatures. Machining this alloy requires specialized techniques due to its tough nature. Our CNC machining services can handle the complexities involved in processing Inconel 718. We ensure high precision and durability in the final product.
Inconel 718 Properties
| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| Density | 8.19 g/cm³ |
| Melting Point | 1260–1315 °C |
| Yield Strength | 1030 MPa |
| Ultimate Tensile Strength | 1240 MPa |
| Corrosion Resistance | Excellent |
Inconel Grade Comparison: 718, 625, and 635
Grade choice changes how a part machines as much as it changes how the part performs in service. The table below lines up the three grades we machine most often, with a note on what each one means at the spindle.
| Property | Inconel 718 | Inconel 625 | Inconel 635 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Density | 8.19 g/cm³ | 8.44 g/cm³ | 8.20 g/cm³ |
| Melting Point | 1260–1315 °C | 1290–1350 °C | 1300–1350 °C |
| Yield Strength | 1030 MPa | 460 MPa | 900 MPa |
| Ultimate Tensile Strength | 1240 MPa | 930 MPa | 1100 MPa |
| Corrosion Resistance | Excellent | Excellent | Very Good |
| Machining Impact | Precipitation-hardened. It work-hardens fast and drives rapid tool wear, so it needs rigid setups and reduced cutting speeds. | Solid-solution strengthened. It cuts more predictably than 718 but still work-hardens under light cuts, and it’s a common pick when welding follows machining. | Close to 718 in strength. It machines with similar tool-wear management but needs tighter chip control in deep pockets. |
Inconel 625 is the correct specification when corrosion resistance in chloride or acidic environments matters more than peak strength. Inconel 718 is the correct call when a part needs the highest strength-to-weight ratio at elevated temperature, such as turbine hardware.

What Our Clients Say
Precision Inconel CNC Machining Service FAQs
Inconel is challenging to machine due to its high nickel content, which makes it extremely tough and resistant to deformation. Its high-temperature resistance also leads to rapid tool wear during machining, especially in applications like turbine manufacturing. Companies offering CNC Inconel machining services often use specialized tools and techniques to handle the material’s demanding properties.
The machinability rating of Inconel is typically low, around 15-30%, compared to materials like steel. This means that machining Inconel components requires slower cutting speeds, optimized feeds, and high-performance tools to maintain precision. Precision CNC Inconel machining services are specifically designed to overcome these challenges while maintaining high-quality results.
CNC machining automates the cutting, shaping, or forming of materials using computer-controlled equipment, making it ideal for complex and repetitive tasks like creating turbine parts. Precision machining focuses on achieving tight tolerances and intricate details, often used for high-performance materials like Inconel or Monel. Precision CNC Inconel machining services combine the benefits of automation and accuracy, providing reliable solutions for industries needing high-quality Inconel machining services.
