Challenges in machining aluminium part one

Processing aluminium is simple due to its characteristics; however, if we consider production in huge amounts, it will bring some problems.
When you try to machine aluminium alloys, you can face huge problems like deformation due to internal stresses. To fix distortion you will need different types of treatment like heat, altered machining and post-machining. Especially when we consider manufacturing huge and thin profiles in the aerospace industry, this challenge will be frustrating. 
Aluminium is ductile and conducts heat, for this reason, it is not brittle when we consider chip formation. Aluminium should not be treated with surface grinding and an outer diameter grinding. The solution for this case could be the application of hard-coat anodize.
