There have been a few stories of machines getting torched because of chip buildup plus an ignition source. |

Fun video. Inconel is the same material used for the cpu's armor in aircraft black boxes.
I woudnt want to be back on the floor, but miss playing with neat toys sometimes. |

Inconel is actually what our retorts are made out of. We're heating a high nickel iron alloy to around 2100 ± 50 degrees to align the grain structure for magnetic permeability. Inconel handles a good bit of heat before deforming, so it's been our material of choice for a long time now.

I was in the living room and hear a WHHOOOSH. Ran to the kitchen and saw the frying pan on fire. Grabbed the frying pan handle, opened the sliding door to the backyard, and while going down the little step, the frying pan handle had melted off and the pan slid off the handle pouring the burning oil onto my my right thigh. Burned through my pants and had me out of school for two weeks. Still have scars from that. I also dumped scalding water on me as a toddler, and stuck a fork through my cheek. But those are stories for another time..lol

When I worked for Elliott TurboMachinery. I worked with a lot of inconels and monels. Hated machining inconel 625. Super gummy. Tear up bits really quick. Gas turbines and some compressors have parts made out of this stuff. We had a few lathe fires from Ti, and magnesium. Worked will a lot of exotic metals. How about preheating a work piece to 1,100F before you could weld on it.
