CNC Machining Inconel and Other Super Alloys

In the demanding world of aerospace, energy, and highperformance engineering, standard materials often fall short. This is where super alloys, such as the renowned Inconel family, come into play. These metals are engineered to withstand extreme environments—intense heat, high pressure, and corrosive atmospheres—that would rapidly degrade conventional steels and aluminums. However, their exceptional properties make them notoriously difficult to machine. This is where expertise in CNC machining becomes not just an advantage, but a necessity.

Why are Super Alloys so Challenging?

Super alloys, including Inconel, Hastelloy, and Waspaloy, maintain their strength at elevated temperatures. This very characteristic, known as high hot hardness, is the primary source of machining difficulty. Instead of being cut cleanly, the material tends to workharden during the machining process. This creates excessive tool wear, generates intense heat at the cutting edge, and can lead to premature part failure if not managed correctly. Successful machining requires a deep understanding of these metallurgical properties.
