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