In-house normalizing heat treatment for Inconel 625 forgings, refining grain structure and relieving internal stresses to deliver uniform microstructure, improved tensile strength, and enhanced toughness for downstream processing.
Inconel 625 is one of the most challenging alloys to forge — its high work-hardening rate and strength at elevated temperatures demand precise press control and deep metallurgical knowledge. At MTS Forge's Coatesville, PA facility, we've been working with high-performance nickel alloys for over 40 years. Our large tooling inventory, adjustable-tonnage press capability, and in-house heat treatment allow us to deliver Alloy 625 forgings with tighter dimensional tolerances, complete traceability, and lower total cost than machining from bar stock — meeting the exacting standards of aerospace, defense, and commercial nuclear procurement.

Co-Founder
Stephen Carr co-founded MTS Forge in 1986 alongside Edward Waddell, building the company from the ground up on twin pillars of quality and service. With a deep metallurgical background and extensive practical knowledge of forging processes, Stephen has been instrumental in shaping the technical direction of MTS Forge for nearly four decades. His expertise spans a wide range of forging methods and high-performance alloys — including nickel-based alloys like Inconel 625 — and has guided the company's growth into aerospace, defense, commercial nuclear, and power generation markets. Under his co-leadership, MTS Forge has invested in cutting-edge press technology, in-house heat treatment, and a comprehensive quality assurance infrastructure to meet the most demanding procurement standards in the industry.
Co-Founder
Edward Waddell co-founded Manufacturing & Technical Services, Inc. — operating as MTS Forge — in 1986, partnering with Stephen Carr to establish one of Pennsylvania's respected forging operations. Edward brings a strong metallurgical foundation and deep knowledge of forging practices to every aspect of the business, from material selection through final inspection. His technical expertise has been central to MTS Forge's ability to work with demanding alloys such as Inconel 625, Monel K-500, and duplex stainless steels, serving customers in aerospace, defense, and commercial nuclear sectors. His commitment to innovation and customer satisfaction has helped MTS Forge earn recognition as a leader in the domestic forging industry, with a Made-in-America manufacturing ethos at its core.
Drilling Inconel 625 requires sharp, high-quality carbide or cobalt drill bits, slow cutting speeds (typically 15–30 SFM), and high feed rates to minimize work hardening. Flood coolant is essential to manage heat. Pecking cycles help clear chips and reduce tool deflection. Because Alloy 625 work-hardens rapidly, consistent feed pressure and sharp tooling are more critical than with standard steels.
