"...or by threadmilling on machining center..."
should there be an article in there? I.e. threadmilling on a machining center. 24.118.61.250 (talk) 23:58, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

Welding
Inertia welding of 718 is used almost exclusively in rotating components for aircraft engines, that should be mentioned in the welding section. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.33.82.176 (talk) 00:01, 7 October 2010 (UTC)
Additional Uses
A number of books by former astronauts (eg, Jim Lovell's book on Apollo 13) mention that the oxygen tanks on the Apollo Command Modules were made from Inconel, not only for their strength, but because of their good insulating properties.
