Inconel 925 Rods, UsageApplication Industrial, Material Grade Inconel 600

Conventional machining techniques used for iron based alloys may be used. This alloy does work, Harden during machining and has higher strength and gumminess not typical of steels. Heavy duty machining equipment and tooling should is suitable for minimize chatter or work, Hardening of the alloy ahead of the cutting. Most any commercial coolant may be utilized in the machining operations. Water, Base coolants are preferred for high speed operations such as turning, Grinding, Or milling. Heavy lubricants work best for drilling, Tapping, Broaching or boring. Turning carbide tools are recommended for turning with a continuous cut. High, Speed steel tooling should be used for interrupted cuts and for polished surface for close tolerance. Tools should have a positive rake angle. Cutting speeds and feeds are in the next segments ranges for high, Speed steel tools for carbide tooling depth surface feed depth surface feed of cut speed in inches of cut speed in inches inches feet/min. Per rev. Inches feet/min. Per rev. 0. 250 25, 35 0. 030 0. 250 150, 200 0. 020 0. 050 50, 60 0. 010 0. 050 325, 375 0. 008 drilling steady feed rates must be used to avoid work hardening due to dwelling of the drill on the metal. Rigid set, Ups are essential with as short a stub drill as feasible. Heavy, Duty, High, Speed steel drills with a heavy web are recommended. Feeds vary from 0. 0007 inch per rev. For holes below 1/16 diameter, 0. 003 inch per rev. For 1/4 dia., To 0. 010 inch per rev. For holes of 7/8 diameter. Milling to obtain good accuracy and a smooth finish It is vital to have rigid machines and fixtures and sharp cutting tools. High, Speed steel cutters such as m, 2 or m, 10 work best with cutting speeds of 30, 40 feet per minute and feed of 0. 004, 0. 006 per cutting tooth. Grinding the alloy should be wet ground and aluminum oxide wheels or belts are preferred.
