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. There are many kinds of nickel based alloys, but one of the more difficult ones to cut is inconel 718. ⑨ Types of problems tapping nickel based alloys. ● Nickel based alloys have a high temperature strength and thermal diffusion is small. Abrasion occurs quickly on the taps cutting edge. ●The internal thread diameters tend to spring back and may cause shrinkage and the tap may be crimped causing breakage. ⑩ ●The material causes chip welding on the cutting chamfer and the flank surface of the tap's threads. The finished surface ofthe internal screw thread produced from nickel based alloys can become rough and coarse. ⑪ JIS ③-85
