Recent advances in characterization, modeling and control of burr formation in micro-milling

Abstract

The demands of high accuracy micro-parts and micro-scale features are increasing in the different industries today. Micro-milling is widely used to manufacture micro-scale parts and features. The major problem in the micro-milling operation is burr formation, as due to micro-scale size of burr, deburring becomes difficult. Burr deteriorates the quality and performance of micro-parts and features, therefore, burr minimization and control techniques are topics of extensive research today. Many researchers have worked on the micro-milling burr to achieve better control on the burr formation in micro-milling operation. This paper presents recent works on burr formation in micro-milling operation.
