Tolerances and Surface Finish

Dimensional tolerances:

  • Standard: ±0.010 mm
  • Precision: down to ±0.005 mm
  • Position tolerance: down to 0.010 mm with defined datum strategy

Surface finish:

  • Standard machined: Ra 1.6 μm
  • Precision machined: Ra 0.8 μm
  • Ground: down to Ra 0.2 μm
  • EDM: down to Ra 0.8 μm (finer via secondary processes)

Note: We recommend pairing tight tolerances and fine finishes with clear functional justification. This reduces heat input, tool pressure and cycle time while improving repeatability in Inconel 625.

Process Approach for Inconel 625

  • Controlled chip load and stable engagement to reduce work hardening
  • Lower surface speed, consistent feed and high-pressure coolant to manage heat
  • Rough–semi-finish–finish strategy to protect final geometry and surface
  • Minimized recutting of chips via appropriate chipbreakers and toolpaths
  • EDM for sharp internal corners, narrow slots and delicate features
  • Precision grinding for sealing diameters, bearing fits and flatness-critical surfaces

Design-for-Manufacturability Guidelines for Inconel 625

Design decisions significantly impact machinability, cost and lead time for Inconel 625. Apply these guidelines to optimize your part for precision CNC machining.

Wall Thickness & Ribs

  • Minimum wall thickness: 0.5 mm; increase where possible for thermal stability
  • Add generous fillets (≥ R0.5 mm preferred; minimum R0.3 mm) to reduce stress concentration and tool wear

Holes & Threads

  • Minimum drilled hole: Ø0.5 mm; use peck cycles and through-coolant where possible
  • Prefer thread milling or controlled tapping for small or deep threads
  • Specify thread class, gauge standard and any runout requirements; avoid excessive thread engagement depth

Features & Datum Strategy

  • Define primary/secondary datums to secure critical interfaces and positions
  • Tightly control only the features that drive assembly and performance
  • For thin sections, plan for sequence-conscious machining and localized support

Surface & Inspection Access

  • Call out functional surfaces for improved finish or grinding; allow standard finish on non-critical areas
  • For sealing surfaces and bearing fits, specify finish and roundness/cylindricity targets
  • Provide probe-friendly features or alternate inspection strategies for deep/hidden features
  • Include section views and detailed callouts for complex internal geometry

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you hold tight tolerances on Inconel 625?

Yes. We routinely hold ±0.005 mm on defined features with appropriate datum schemes and inspection plans. We will advise where tolerance relaxation does not impact function.

What finishes are achievable on Inconel 625?

Standard machined finishes around Ra 1.6 μm; precision machined Ra 0.8 μm; ground finishes down to Ra 0.2 μm. EDM finishes down to Ra 0.8 μm, with optional secondary finishing.

Do you provide full traceability and FAI?

Yes. Material traceability, CoC, MTR, FAI, ballooned drawings, dimensional reports and special-process certifications are available as specified.

What batch sizes do you support?

From one-off engineering prototypes to low-volume and repeat production, scaling from 1 to 10,000+ parts.

Can you combine turning and milling for complex Inconel 625 parts?

Yes. Our mill-turn platforms (main/sub spindle, C/Y axes and live tooling) consolidate setups and preserve feature relationships.
