1. The plural of machinability; the quality or degree to which a material (such as metal or plastic) can be machined, shaped, or cut using machine tools with ease and efficiency.
Usage: technical; used in manufacturing and materials engineering

Examples

• The machinabilities of different aluminum alloys vary significantly depending on their composition.
• Engineers compared the machinabilities of steel and titanium to determine which would be more cost-effective for production.
• Improving machinabilities of hard materials reduces tool wear and production time.
• The machinabilities of these polymers make them ideal for precision manufacturing.
• Material scientists study machinabilities to develop alloys that are easier to work with in industrial settings.
