Even today, there is an ever-increasing demand for the production of aerosol cans made of aluminium, as the cosmetics and other propellant-enriched products stored in them reach more and more people with the development of humanity. The production of these packaging materials is primarily carried out by plastic forming operations. However, during the production process of aluminium aerosol cans, tools with a defined edge geometry also perform cutting operations. The processes taking place here affect the quality of the final product. In this paper, the procedure and results of finite element modelling of the flange turning of aluminium aerosol cans is presented. The structure of the finite element model is introduced, as well as the possibilities of considering the peculiarities of the process. Since the used pure aluminium (Al99.5) is considered a difficult-to-cut material, the machinability of aluminium and its alloys is also discussed.
