They’re practically twins. Some might say this about superalloys and titanium, but as with most twins, there are a few subtle differences.
Materials like nickel-base, chrome-base, and iron-base superalloys are extremely heat resistant, even more than titanium, so most of the heat produced during machining is absorbed by the cutting edge.
This can wreak havoc on the cutting tool and cause damage ranging from crater wear, to plastic deformation, to complete tool failure.
Most superalloys are not flammable, so they can be machined with ceramic and CBN inserts much faster than with tungsten carbide inserts.
Better yet, coolant isn’t needed in most applications (for turning applications at maximum 80 bars or 1000 psi, coolant is beneficial).
