An aeronautics manufacturer needed a part fabricated using AMS 5666 specified Inconel 625. The part was a component that would be exposed to high heat. It was also very small and needed to mate well with other components. The GD&T specifications were very tight for this component.
Boyer machines complex superalloys. Their decades of expertise in machining precise, small parts and their metallurgical knowledge allow them to produce parts based on form, fit and function.
In this case, the Inconel is a very hard, annealed nickel-based superalloy. It requires slower speeds when turning it. Boyer used a Swiss-style lathe with a sliding headstock to machine this small part. It was produced in one setup to reduce waste and meet production-delivery times. Dimensional tolerances were measured and tested during the production process to ensure the parts were meeting specifications.
In the end, the customer was very pleased. The Inconel components fit and performed well. If you are in need of parts using complex metals, contact Boyer, where quality is standard.
