There are a few major areas of value that come with superalloys, including:

High temperature resistance: While many metals will begin seeing strength declines at 400 degrees Celsius or even earlier, superalloys often have much higher resistances to heat. This is huge for any project that needs to maintain strength levels in very high temperature areas – such as aerospace or other industries where extreme conditions are expected.

Creep resistance: When we talk about creep, we're referring to the gradual weakening of metals over time when it is subject to high levels of stress or strain. Superalloys offer a much higher resistance to this type of issue, meaning they can be relied on for long-term strength and performance. For areas like turbine blades, for instance, this can be a major issue.

Precipitation hardening: Using a two-phase equilibrium process, superalloys can be strengthened by heating them to an exact temperature and then cooling them very quickly. This makes them ideal for applications that require a high level of strength, and protects them against multiple different kinds of failure.
