Aluminum is an essential industrial material, but it has a major undoing. The alloys contain relatively low hardness and their thermal expansion are high, can deform when being machined into a thin part. However, several steps can be taken to avoid the deformation of the material beforehand. Symmetrical Machining It’s essential to avoid extreme concentration of heat but rather to …

Metallurgical Structure Affects the Machinability of Aluminum Advancements in grain structure consistency and mechanical properties help to make this extremely machinable metal suitable for an ever growing range of applications. The term “machinability” refers to the ease with which a metal can be machined to an acceptable surface finish. But maximizing machinability is a complex, sometimes trial-and-error process that is …
