Machines terribly, among the worst materials a shop will encounter. Ceramic inserts at low speed or sharp, coated carbide at very low SFM with aggressive feeds. Rigid machine, rigid setup, flood coolant. Tool life is measured in minutes, not hours. Used for chemical processing, marine exhaust systems, and nuclear applications. Extremely expensive.
