Inconel, Nitinol & Exotic Alloy Machining.
Inconel, Nitinol, cobalt-chrome, beryllium copper, and platinum-iridium for demanding parts.
Some parts call for materials that fight back: nickel superalloys, shape-memory Nitinol, cobalt-chrome, and precious-metal alloys. We machine them with EDM and carefully controlled cutting, and we'll tell you honestly during DFM when a feature needs a different approach.
What to expect.
- Processes
- Wire and sinker EDM, CNC milling and turning, micro-machining
- Tolerances
- ±.0001" achievable on critical features
- Documentation
- Material certs and full traceability
- Grades
- Inconel 625 / 718, Nitinol, Cobalt-chrome, Beryllium copper, Platinum-iridium, Tungsten, Kovar
Getting exotic alloys right.
EDM where it counts
Wire and sinker EDM cut hard alloys without cutting forces or distortion.
Material stewardship
Expensive stock is handled, tracked, and nested carefully to minimize scrap.
Straight answers
DFM feedback before you commit, so exotic material isn't wasted on a risky feature.
- Catheter and guidewire components
- High-temperature parts
- Electrical contacts
- Sensor elements
Exotic Alloys questions.
Can you machine Inconel?
Yes. We machine Inconel 625 and 718 with controlled cutting and EDM, depending on the feature.
Do you machine Nitinol?
Yes. Nitinol is commonly cut with wire EDM and careful micro-machining to preserve its properties.
Is EDM better for hard alloys?
Often. EDM removes material without cutting forces, so hardened or tough alloys don't deflect or distort.
