Frequently Asked Questions
While both are challenging, Inconel 625 can be slightly easier to machine in the annealed condition due to its lower hardness. However, its high work-hardening rate means that improper parameters can quickly create a hardened surface layer, so optimized cutting strategies remain essential.
