| Summary: | This study presents the most recent cutting tool technology in the machining of Titanium (Ti) based superalloys to better grasp the existing state and to determine future directions of cutting tool research and development for turning Titanium-based superalloys. Titanium (Ti) based superalloys are widely employed in the aerospace, automotive, and petrochemical sectors due to their outstanding combination of mechanical properties and high-temperature corrosion resistance. Ti superalloys are also used to produce biomedical components, sports equipment’s, and other high-performance products. These superalloys, however, are difficult to cut due to their poor heat conductivity, low elastic modulus, high strength, and superior chemical resistance. A survey of the literature reveals that cutting tool life is drastically reduced when machining titanium superalloys at high cutting speeds and feed rates. The review study focuses on (i) various cutting tool materials used in Ti superalloy turning operations; (ii) diverse cutting tool coating procedures. © 2024 American Institute of Physics Inc..
