Aluminum and its alloys are widely used in industry due to their
lightness, high strength/weight ratio and easy formability. Different
machining operations such as turning, drilling, milling and threading
are needed in order to be manufactured in desired forms and used as a
final product in mechanical systems. However, some problems arise that
negatively affect the machined surface quality, dimensional tolerance
and cutting tool performance during the machining of these materials.
Cutting tool wear is among the most important of these problems. Cutting
tool wear also causes loss of time due to tool changing and machine
tool adjustment requirements in machining operations. In this study,
current studies on tool wear in the machining of aluminum-based alloys
were investigated in detail and the factors affecting tool wear were
presented comparatively.
