Machining of aluminum alloys is currently frequently used and it is an important area of production. The paper deals with an experiment that was conducted at the Faculty of Production Technology and Management, University of Jan Evangelista Purkyně in Ústí nad Labem, where was machined alloy AlSi7Mg0,3. Samples were made for processing from the master alloy AlSi7Mg0,3, subsequently unmodified and modified of strontium Sr. This paper describes the evaluation of tool wear in terms of how or strontium modification may affect (reduce) the tool wear.
