Small-lot stock in this catalog is $34.00/lb for Inconel 718 and $38.00/lb for Inconel 625; the 718 turned pin quotes at $550.85, $96.43 and $75.36 per part at 1, 10 and 100. Low machinability makes machine time and tooling as important as the expensive alloy. Put condition and certification on the stock request. A cut-piece minimum, heat number and freight can move the delivered blank far beyond the catalog input.

The Inconel 718 and 625 example part
The example part is a two-inch turned pin with a drilled end and groove. It is a simple shape chosen to isolate material and removal rate. A real turbine or hot-section component may need 5-axis work, broaching, EDM, heat treatment and extensive inspection, none of which should be inferred from this example.
How the quantity break works
The first row pays for setup and programming before the expensive alloy is repeated. On a larger lot, the stock price and slow cycle are visible on every part. Full-bar volume pricing can reduce the material line, but it does not make an Inconel cut behave like 6061.
What the material or process changes
Ask whether the customer needs 718 or 625, in what condition, with which certification and heat treatment. Both alloys are corrosion and temperature materials, but they are not interchangeable on strength or process requirements. Outside services remain separate quote lines.
How to turn this into a firm quote
Show the dated material input and the geometry assumptions with the quote. When a distributor offers a different diameter or cut-piece price, replace that number and rerun the table so the change can be audited.
Questions to settle before release
Capture alloy, condition, diameter, cut length, heat number and freight on an Inconel purchase. Ask whether the supplier charges a cut fee or full-bar minimum and whether the customer pays for certification. The expensive blank and slow cycle make scrap prevention important. A dated input plus the computed route lets the estimator update one number without losing the reason for the total.
For this inconel price per pound estimate, the estimate is strongest when the handoff includes the drawing revision, stock quote date and acceptance plan. Save those details with the quantity break. If the buyer changes one requirement, rerun the affected operation and leave the other lines intact. This keeps a revision discussion factual and prevents an old material or finish assumption from surviving in a new price.
Pricing engine output for the stated Inconel 718 CNC turning example part
- • Material: Inconel 718; the US catalog stores its small-lot price and machinability factor.
- • Process: CNC turning; setup, machine time, deburring and inspection are generated from the example-part geometry.
- • Markup: 30% default US catalog markup; quantities are 1, 10, 100.
- • Fictional 2 in turned part from 1.5 in bar; one drilled end hole and one groove.
- • No outside finish, tax, freight, or customer-specific rate is included.
- • These are computed examples, not supplier quotes or market averages.
