Abstract Aluminium alloy components are gaining traction in the automotive industry due to their lightweight properties, contributing improved fuel efficiency and reduced emissions. Many of these demand specific surface roughness profiles achieved through milling operations. However, excess material from upstream processes—such as flash remaining after demoulding —presents challenges for machining process. These irregularities, combined with stringent demands roughness, burr-free edges, flatness, require careful selection tool microgeometry, grade, cutting parameters. Nonetheless, research concerning behaviour PCD tools when aluminium alloys remains limited, existing studies often fail address complexities high-volume production. This study investigates polycrystalline diamond (PCD) performance high-speed an eight-month production analysis comparing grades microgeometries. The reveals that medium-sized grains lead superior quality a 22% longer life. Tools larger tip radii (0.09 mm versus 0.06 mm) demonstrated significantly higher performance, reducing burr formation by 20% while maintaining lower values. Insert height positioning emerged critical factor, since deviations between insert heights substantially extended life ensured consistent roughness. findings provide practical criteria directly impacting cost-efficiency component manufacturing.
