View details →Alloy Selection Guidance
Milling high-temperature alloys demands careful balancing of cutting speeds, radial chip thinning, and carbide grades. Our engineering staff assists with Design for Manufacturability (DFM) reviews to prevent work hardening and control internal stresses.
Need a Material Recommendation?
Our metallurgists assist in choosing between Inconel 625, 718, or alternative nickel superalloys based on operating temperature and yield requirements.
Nickel-Based Superalloys
Inconel 718, 625, Hastelloy C-276, Waspaloy
Maintained with rigid tool holding, high-pressure coolant (1000+ PSI), and ceramic/PVD coated inserts to guarantee thermal dissipation and profile consistency.
Titanium Alloys
Grade 2, Grade 5 (Ti-6Al-4V), Ti-6Al-4V ELI
Low thermal conductivity counteracted with optimized engagement angles, eliminating burr formation and preventing heat transfer back into the workpiece.
Precipitation Hardening Steels
17-4PH, 15-5PH, 13-8Mo
Machined in both solution-treated and peak-aged conditions (H900 to H1150), controlling dimensional shrinkage through tightly regulated heat treatment integration.
Controlled Expansion Alloys
Kovar, Invar 36, Alloy 42
Stress-relief cycles combined with light-finishing passes ensure zero mechanical distortion across extreme temperature cycling ranges.
