yep, even carbide can be no match for the abrasiveness of inconel. I hated machining that crap. Hastelloy X was another that can **** right off. Fun fact, the armor that surrounds the CPU in the black boxes of airplanes is made from solid blocks of inconel. When we machined them we used ceramic with no coolant (obviously) and spun the cutters at 18K rpm. Molten chips of inconel flying puts on a good show.
This video is mild. We threw steady streams of chips that actually melted the plastic safety windows on the machine lol.

Our retorts for our furnaces are inconel. We heat product to over 2100° every run, and that stuff takes a beating. That being said, the retort slowly distorts over time from the weight of the product inside and the heat to which it is subjected, eventually being replaced by a machinist like you!

I've got several friends who just screw with them. Only plug it in on AutoX days lol. No penalty yet. I'll check and see if they have a readout like yours. It would probably be like 40 miles driven, 550 hard acceleration events, 400 hard braking events :rofl2:

It sounds much cooler than it actually is. I rarely set foot in our heat treat department in the summer unless I want to lose 30% of my bodyweight in sweat. I too prefer AC.
