Experimental study of burr formation and tool chipping in the face milling of stainless steel

This paper reports the results of experiments to investigate burr formation and tool chipping during the face milling of stainless steel, using a fly milling cutter to carry out single-tooth face milling tests. It is found that the burr height is strongly dependent upon the milling process . The results show that five different types of burr can be produced on the exit edge, e.g. knife-type, saw-type, burr breakage curl-type and wave-type. A...
