铝型材的可机加工性是优良的。在各种变形铝合金和铸造铝合金中，以及在这些合金产出後具有的各种状态中，机加工特性的变化相当大，这就需要特殊的机床或技术。
The machinability of aluminum profiles is excellent. In all kinds of wrought and cast aluminum alloys, as well as in the various states after the production of these alloys, the machining characteristics change greatly, which requires special machine tools or technologies.
可成形性
Formability
特定的拉伸强度、屈服强度、可延展性和相应的加工硬化率支配着允许变形量的变化。据前瞻网《中国铝型材行业市场需求预测阳雕刻 水刀切割机 pvc软管 手套生产设备 保定平面设计培训 保定室内设计培训 果树反光膜与投资战略规划分析报告前瞻》调查显示，商业上可提供的铝型材在不同形态下成形性的额定值取决于成形的工艺方法。
Specific tensile strength, yield strength, ductility and corresponding work hardening rate control the variation of allowable deformation. According to the survey of "China's aluminum profile industry market demand forecast and investment strategic planning analysis report prospect" of prospective website, the formability ratings of aluminum profiles in different forms available commercially depend on the forming process.
