Cutting Material for Machining Inconel and Nickel Alloys

Nickel alloy components are mainly used in the aerospace, energy and gas industries. These materials are mainly used where high strength and hardness at high temperatures in corrosive environments prevail - for example in combustion chambers of turbines or in connections and flanges of the gas industry.

For machining these materials, such as Inconel, the SiAlON cutting material LST 320 is an excellent alternative to whisker-reinforced ceramics for roughing and rough-finishing.
