VT machining offers CNC 5-Axis Machining for Inconel 600 (UNS N06600 / 2.4816), typically supplied annealed. Non-hardenable Ni-Cr alloy for oxidation and chloride-SCC resistance.
CNC 5-Axis Machining Notes for Inconel 600
For a hard-to-cut grade like Inconel 600, multi-axis machining reduces the number of setups, so there are fewer re-clamps and less time spent cutting.
For estimating, a 100 × 100 × 10 mm block of Inconel 600 weighs about 0.85 kg.
