“…For instance, INCONEL ® 718 can be additively manufactured (AMed) to produce components with complex shapes. Since it relies on a γ” hardening phase Ni 3 Nb (D022) and a low amount of γ′ forming elements, namely FCC Ni 3 (Ti, Al, Nb) (L12), it has excellent weldability (using electron beam welding, EBW, as an example [ 24 ]) and weld-repair ability compared to other γ′-strengthened alloys [ 2 , 25 , 26 ].Wang et al [ 27 ] examined the microstructural evolution and creep characteristics of INCONEL ® 718 alloy subjected to varying temperatures and stresses.…”

Build-up-edge (BUE), high-temperature machining and tool wear (TW) are some of the problems associated with difficult-to-machine materials for high-temperature applications, contributing significantly to high-cost manufacturing and poor tool life (TL) management. A detailed review of non-traditional machining processes that ease the machinability of INCONEL®, decrease manufacturing costs and suppress assembly complications is thus of paramount significance. Progress taken within the field of INCONEL® non-conventional processes from 2016 to 2023, the most recent solutions found in the industry, and the prospects from researchers have been analysed and presented. In ensuing research, it was quickly noticeable that some techniques are yet to be intensely exploited. Non-conventional INCONEL® machining processes have characteristics that can effectively increase the mechanical properties of the produced components without tool-workpiece contact, posing significant advantages over traditional manufacturing.
