You will not...i repeat,you WILL not...warp inconel.
For the sake of argument,altho what i use is the 600 stuff...the 718 is used...as heat protection the underside of the spaceshuttle.
Temps will have turned your cast iron piece to a molten piece of metal b4 the inconel turns in the towel. |
"Iconel".....I will not dispute the use of this alloy in high temp applications.
Very familiar with its performance in process industry installations..
Kind of costly too !!!
You're light years ahead of material choices from the majority of USA fabricators.
