Nickel-based, creep-resistant, superalloy Inconel 718 is amongst the most difficult alloys to machine. The main reason for the poor machinability of the alloy is the high work-hardening rate by the precipitation of a γ’ phase and the presence of hard abrasive phases such as titanium carbide, niobium carbide and the Ni3AlTi phase. Generally, incr
