I am looking for a stress free inconel. I'm cutting a heater coil with a .025” thick ribbon that is laid out in a maze like pattern. I just got done with a 136hr cut of inconel 600. It looked great except one .5" X .5" circular spot that had some stress and scrapped the entire part out for me. Part is approximatley 13" diameter. Called the metallurgist and he said to stress relieve inconel 600 is a waste of time. He recommended inconel X-750. Of course he wants to sell me another chunk, and this stuff is twice the price of the 600. My understanding is 600 is bottom of the barrel inconel. If there is such a thing. Any input from all of you inconel experts?
