Machining Exotic Alloys: Inconel, Hastelloy, Duplex, and Nickel-Based Superalloys
Exotic alloys are the materials engineers turn to when standard stainless steels and aluminum cannot survive the operating environment—jet engine hot sections at 1,000°C, chemical reactors with boiling sulfuric acid, and deep-sea oil wells. These materials deliver extraordinary performance in service, but they extract their pound of flesh in the machine shop. Machining Inconel, Hastelloy, […]
