Wrought alu­mini­um alloys stick and smear in the machin­ing process and are there­fore prone to built-up edges and burrs. This is to be avoid­ed by sup­ply­ing plen­ty of cool­ing lubri­cants, with all the dis­ad­van­tages this entails (rework­ing, clean­ing, etc.).

Com­plete dry machin­ing of alu­mini­um is pos­si­ble at mod­er­ate tem­per­a­tures with a sig­nif­i­cant reduc­tion in cut­ting force and high effi­cien­cy in absolute­ly sta­ble milling process­es. Mas­sive sav­ings in ener­gy costs can also be achieved through up to 80 per­cent reduc­tion in CO2 con­sump­tion, which can also be sub­sidised by the state.
