Inconel Question
Inconel Question
(OP)
All,
We have a design that is in effect a face to face 'O' ring seal. The client requirements is that the faces are inconel coated. What is the requirements for inconel coating? i.e. The 'O' ring grooves will have to be oversized, coated with inconel and then re-machined. How thick is a typical inconel coating? I read that it is a very difficult material to machine. What is the machining requirements?
Can anyone direct me to a website or supply some information relating to inconel coatings and machining of this material?

As far as coating thickness requirements, I would talk with someone that applies this coating and see what they reccomend for good coverage and work that thickness into your design.
