VT machining offers CNC Routing for Inconel 718 (UNS N07718 / 2.4668), typically supplied solution-treated or aged. Precipitation-hardened superalloy; strongest of the common Inconels to ~650 °C.
CNC Routing Notes for Inconel 718
Routing is only economical in Inconel 718 for thin sections; for thicker plate we usually recommend milling, laser or waterjet instead.
For estimating, a 100 × 100 × 10 mm block of Inconel 718 weighs about 0.82 kg.
