VT machining specialises in CNC Swiss Machining Inconel 718. Because Inconel 718 is high-temperature strength and oxidation resistance, and its machinability is very difficult; rigid setups, carbide/ceramic tooling, low speeds, we plan each job around the grade to protect accuracy and surface quality.
CNC Swiss Machining Capability for Inconel 718
- High-temperature strength
- Oxidation resistant
- Tolerance to ±0.01 mm
- Aerospace-grade
Machining Inconel 718 with CNC Swiss Machining
Inconel 718 behaves predictably under CNC Swiss Machining once parameters are dialled in: machinability is very difficult; rigid setups, carbide/ceramic tooling, low speeds, and we tune the operation accordingly.
We hold reference parameters for this grade, so repeat orders of Inconel 718 run consistently from one batch to the next.
Design Tips for CNC Swiss Machining Inconel 718
We are happy to suggest design tweaks that improve manufacturability. Consistent diameters, standard thread forms and avoiding extremely long, slender features help Inconel 718 turned parts stay concentric and economical. If you send your model early, we will return practical DFM feedback before you commit to production.
Secondary Operations & Finishing
Finished Inconel 718 parts can move straight into secondary operations under one roof. Typical add-ons are deburring, passivation, anodising, plating, blasting, polishing and laser marking. We coordinate the whole chain so you receive complete, inspection-ready parts.
CNC Swiss Machining Tolerances & Surface Finish
Turned Inconel 718 holds diameter tolerances to about ±0.005 mm with concentricity within 0.01 mm and good roundness. Turned finishes of Ra 0.4–0.8 µm are achievable with finishing passes and sharp tooling.
Final tolerances are governed by the material's behaviour, wall thickness and overall stiffness. We give honest DFM feedback if a callout would be costly or better achieved another way.
CNC Swiss Machining Quality & Inspection
We control quality throughout the process, not just at the end. In-process checks plus final inspection — including CMM where specified — keep every Inconel 718 part to print. Inspection reports, material certificates and first-article documentation can be supplied on request.
Why Inconel 718?
Inconel 718 is chosen when a part needs what this grade offers — it is high-temperature strength and oxidation resistance. We confirm the grade and any temper or heat-treat condition with you before machining.
