In studying the techniques re- quired for ren1oving burrs fron1 precision 1nin i aturf' components two important conside rations became obvious: a) For repeatible deburring the bun· properties have to be repeatible and b) A knowledge of how burrs forrn is essential if one wishes to predict deburring requirements and minimum cost machining-deburring conditions. In o r d~r to establish the generality of th" Burr Formation Mecha- nisms the four principle machining operations (drilling , milling, turning. and grindmg) were studied. The Burr Formation Mechanisms and resulting properti<>s are described ana l ytically a nd empiricillly. The author is indebted to the Bendix Corporation for providing the timP to pursue this study and for th e graduate fellowship which made it possible to return to graduate study. The many excellent suggestions from Dr. P. T. Blotter, Dr . Carl D. Spear. and Professor W. Karl Somers provided many of the links required to tie the theory and empirical rPsults together. Robert Poor's assistance in making the 1000 burr mPasurements is also gratefully acknowledged. Finally. I owe a special d0bt of gratitude to my wife who stood pati<>ntly hy while her husband engrossed himself in this study. LaRoux 1<.

    S S symmetry Article A Fully Symmetrical High Performance Modular Milling Cutter Mircea-Viorel Dragoi *, Dorin Mircea Rosca, Milena Flavia Folea and Gheorghe Oancea * Department of Manufacturing Engineering, Transilvania University of Brasov, B-dul Eroilor 29, 500036 Bras, ov, Romania; [email protected] (D.M.R.); [email protected] (M.F.F.) * Correspondence: [email protected] (M.-V.D.); [email protected] (G.O.) Abstract: Milling cutters belong to a widely used category of cutting tools. In this category, modular milling cutters are a narrow niche, less studied, and developed. Usually, they are symmetrical cutting tools. A milling cutting tool that can be reconfigured due to its modularity and still keeps its symmetry becomes more interesting and useful for machining. The paper presents such a new concept in a computer aided design (CAD) model of a cutting tool based on some novel features. The tool itself is designed as a modular complex. The way the torque is transmitted from the shaft to the elementary cutters is an original one, as they are joined together based on a profiled assembling. The profile is one formed of filleted circular sectors and segments. The reaming of the elementary cutters has two sections each of them assuming a task: transmitting the torque, and precisely centring, respectively. The cooling system, which is a component of the tool, provides the cutting area with coolant both on the front and side face of the cutting tool. Some nozzles placed around the cutting tool send jets or curtains of coolant towards the side surface of the cutter, instead of parallel, as some existing solutions do.

Machining Since deburring is a costly and non-value-added operation, the understanding and control of burr Burr formation is a research topic with high relevance to industrial applications. Following a review of burr Burr control classifications along with the corresponding measurement technologies, burr formation mechanisms in machining are described. Deburring and burr control are two possible ways to deal with burrs. For both, an insight into current research results are presented. Finally, a number of case studies on burr formation, control and deburring along with their economic implications are presented. ß 2009 CIRP. 1.

Denkena3 1 University College Dublin, Ireland 2 University of California, Berkeley, USA 3 University of Hannover, Germany Abstract This paper reviews some of the main developments in cutting technology since the foundation of CIRP over fifty years ago. Material removal processes can take place at considerably higher performance levels 3 in the range up to Qw = 150 - 1500 cm /min for most workpiece materials at cutting speeds up to some 8.000 m/min. Dry or near dry cutting is finding widespread application. The superhard cutting tool materi- als embody hardness levels in the range 3000 – 9000 HV with toughness levels exceeding 1000 MPa. Coated tool materials offer the opportunity to fine tune the cutting tool to the material being machined. Machining accuracies down to 10 µm can now be achieved for conventional cutting processes with CNC machine tools, whilst ultraprecision cutting can operate in the range < 0.1µm. The main technological developments associated with the cutting tool and tool materials, the workpiece materials, the machine tool, the process conditions and the manufacturing environment which have led to this advancement are given detailed consideration in this paper. The basis for a roadmap of future development of cutting tech- nology is provided. Keywords: Cutting, Material Removal, Process Development ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS geometrie”.

    Article in Cutting Tool Engineering (June 2002)

    CUTTING TOOL ENGINEERING / June 2002 Out of Touch Tools and technologies for removing hard-to-reach burrs. Removing hard-to-reach burrs, such as those that form at internal cross-hole intersections, can be a real pain. Vibratory tumblers often are not an option because of the media these systems use. The media are either too large to reach the area in need of deburring or, if small enough to gain access, some of them become lodged in the part. Attempting to remove these types of burrs manually can create problems, too. Rotary files often produce inconsistent results. Presented here are some of the technologies and cutting tools that effectively and consistently deburr hard-to-reach burrs: electrochemical machining, thermal deburring, chemical deburring, abrasive-flow machining, waterjet deburring and spindle-driven carbide deburring tools. The Cationic Method Electrolytic cationic deburring is an effective method for removing hard-to-reach burrs. Also known as electrochemical machining (ECM), this sophisticated process involves pumping an electrolyte solution, such as sodium chloride or sodium nitride, through the space between the electrode tool (cathode) and the workpiece (anode). Workpieces receive a positive charge from anode contacts mounted on the fixture. Material is selectively removed from the positively charged workpiece when the electrolyte is flushed between it and a negatively charged electrode. There is no direct contact between the tool and workpiece, so there is no part or tool wear, distortion or mechanical stress. ECM also doesn’t produce a recast layer, said Joe Zmick, division manager for Cation, a Troy, Mich., ECM job shop. Zmick said any workpiece that’s conductive is suitable for the process.

    Study on Burr Formation in Turning

    STUDY ON BURR FORMATION IN TURNING Álisson Rocha Machado Almir Kazuo Kaminise Marcio Bacci da Silva Rafael Gonçalves Ariza Universidade Federal de Uberlândia, Faculdade de Engenharia Mecânica, Bloco 1M Campus Santa Mônica, 38400089, Uberlândia, MG, Brazil, [email protected] Abstract: Several deburring processes have been used for burr removal, rising the cost of the part machined and affecting productivity. Deburring processes depend on the type of burr formed and includes grinding, chamfering among others. Although important in machining operations there are few works concentrated on burr prevention, elimination or minimisation. The complexity of the parameters involved and the difficulty to control them have directed the works to the effect instead of to the cause of burr formation. According to the literature it is impossible to avoid burr formation, however, it can be possible change some characteristics and properties of the burrs to facilitate its reduction after the cut or to decrease its dimensions to acceptable magnitudes. This work presents a study of burr formation for semi-orthogonal cutting operation of carbon steel. The burrs are analysed and measured using scanning electronic microscope and tool microscope. The results showed that the cutting conditions and tool geometry control the characteristics of the burrs. Feed rate and entering angle are the main cutting parameters affecting burr dimensions. Microhardness results also show that the material is highly hardened during the process of burr formation. Keywords: Burr, Turning, Machining 1. Introduction Burr formation is one of the main problems on cutting operations of metals. It is detrimental to the cut and can cause premature failure of the tool, geometrical error in the workpiece and may result in a serious problem on assembly.

Student, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Assam Engineering College, Guwahati, Assam, India4 Associate Professor, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Assam Engineering College, Guwahati, Assam, India5 ABSTRACT:Burrs are undesirable extended surface over a workpiece. In turning operation, burrs are mainly formed at the side of the workpiece where the tool loses contact with the workpiece. Burr removal processes are costly and time consuming, so it is desirable to remove burrs at the initial stage. However, it is impossible to remove burr completely, therefore efforts are on to minimize it. In turning, process parameters affect burr heights to a large extent. A proper combination of process parameters can lessen burr height.The present experimental work studies the variation of burr height in turning of aluminium workpiecewith respect to the change in process parameters, viz. feed, cutting velocity and depth of cut. The experimental work is carried out in CNC lathe and the burr heights are measured with a profile projector. It is observed that generally burr height increases with feed, cutting velocity and depth of cut. However, the ranges of feed and cutting velocity used also affect the trend of increasing or decreasing burr height.

Axial Thrust • Make recommendations based on the knowledge gained and conclusions made. • Point Drill and Step Drill resulted in a reduction in burr height Burr Formation In Engineering, a “burr” refers to the raised edge on a metal part often generated during cutting or punching. More specifically, burrs are unwanted material remaining after a machining process such as drilling, grinding, turning or milling. These are undesirable projections of materials Drilling Conditions: on the edge of the surface arising because of plastic deformation during Feed Rate: 200 mm/min Spindle Speed: 4000 rpm machining operations. Coolant: ON Work piece: Clamped Burrs are created in most machining operations, and are only considered to be intolerable protrusions when the shape or size hinders the function of the part. The magnitude of the burr can be defined by its height (h) and Figure 1: Cross Section Showing Burr Height thickness (w) as shown in Figure 1.
