Design, Modeling and Reliability in Rotating Machinery / by Perez, Robert X., editor 651130

A Comprehensive Review on the Conventional and Non-Conventional Machining and Tool-Wear Mechanisms of INCONEL^® by A. F. V. Pedroso, V. F. C. Sousa, N. P. V. Sebbe, F. J. G. Silva, R. D. S. G. Campilho, R. C. M. Sales-Contini, A. M. P. Jesus

“…These superalloys can withstand high-temperature applications without suffering from creep, making them extremely appealing and suitable for manufactured goods such as jet engines or steam turbines. Nevertheless, INCONEL^® alloys are considered difficult-to-cut materials, not only due to their superior material properties but also because of their poor thermal conductivity (<i>k</i>) and severe work hardening, which may lead to premature tool wear (TW) and poor final product finishing. …”
