CNC Milling Inconel 600

VT machining offers CNC Milling for Inconel 600 (UNS N06600 / 2.4816), typically supplied annealed. Non-hardenable Ni-Cr alloy for oxidation and chloride-SCC resistance.

CNC Milling Notes for Inconel 600

We use high-efficiency toolpaths with constant engagement on Inconel 600 to keep cutting temperature and tool wear under control.

For estimating, a 100 × 100 × 10 mm block of Inconel 600 weighs about 0.85 kg.
