In general, nickel based alloys are much more difficult to process than steels and stainless steels. Nickel based alloys include A286, inconels, hastelloys, waspaloys and more. ⑨ There are many kinds of nickel based alloys, but one of the more difficult ones to cut is inconel 718. Types of tapping problems ●Nickel based alloys have high temperature strength and the thermal diffusivity is small so, abrupt abrasion occurs on the tap. ●The material tends to spring back so, internal threads may shrink or the tap may be crimped causing breakage. ⑩ ●The material tends to cause welding on the cutting chamfer and the thread flank surface. The finished surface of the internalscrew thread can become rough. ⑪ JIS ①-159
