A Brief Study on Machinability of Aluminium Alloys

Abstract

The use of aluminium alloys in manufacturing industry has increased substantially in current years. This is basically due to their ability to combine weightlessness and strength in a single material. The current paper focuses on a review of tool wear, power consumption, chip morphology, surface roughness, cutting temperature, cutting coolant, cutting forces and stresses during machining of aluminium alloy. Less work has been reported for use of non-edible/ionic fluids in machining of aluminium alloys we have covered. Thus, a lot of scope exists in the use of non-edible oil and ionic fluids for machining of aluminium alloys. This relevant information will give suitable choice for cutting conditions to the machine operators and engineers during machining of different aluminium alloys.
