US Nickel Alloy Turbine Wheel Blanks Multi-Axis Machined from Japan
Inconel turbine wheel blanks forged in American facilities, exported to 5-axis CNC centers abroad for complex blade profiling, returned for final balancing and coating. The precision machining creates the functional airfoil geometry. Covered by 9802.00.60.00 for US metal articles further manufactured.
