Inconel
(redirected from Iconel)

   Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Wikipedia 0.01 sec.
Inconel 

a heat-resistant alloy based on nickel, containing approximately 15 percent chromium and up to 9 percent iron. It was developed in the USA, where it is manufactured in a number of varieties that are alloyed with aluminum, titanium, molybdenum, and other metals depending on use. Inconel is used as a construction material for components of gas-turbine engines, supersonic aircraft, rockets, and the like. The alloys are characterized by high durability and impact strength at temperatures up to 900°C and by insensitivity to gashes at low temperatures (to −78°C). Products made of Inconel are readily joined by welding; welded structures are subjected to heat treatment in order to increase durability. The alloy grades KhN80TBIu and KhN73MBTIu made in the USSR resemble Inconel.

For example, if Martin had a saw devoted to cutting metals such as stainless steels or Iconel that are susceptible to work hardening, it would be to his advantage to test blades designed to have extra penetrating action that would dig into the cut and not ride on the top of it.
