6. Machining

Tool wear mechanisms and methods for characterizing the machinability of materials are discussed in the article Machining and machinability [M 725] .

6.1 Special features of machining aluminum and its alloys

Generally speaking, aluminium and its alloys are particularly well-suited to various machining operations:

  • their low density, which translates into reduced inertia effects, enables high rotation speeds;

  • their high thermal conductivity limits part heating;

  • on the other hand, their low modulus of elasticity means that parts need to be properly clamped to avoid distortion....
