Not that anyone would want to. I hate that **** lol

Gotta take care of them; as they will dull like other bits when abused
Some of the best cutting ones are made of carbide...now they literally drill about anything

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!

Sounds like a cool thing to check out. Sometimes I miss that world and then I remember I work in a nice AC office sitting on my fat *** watching netflix.

JLarson

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.

I dont do foundries or giant furnaces anymore.

Welding Inconel wasn't bad. Machining it is another story. Used to machine Inconel 625 which was worse than inconel 62. That was like machining bubble gum. Soft and chewy.
