Experimental Study of Micro Milling Burr Control Based on Process Parameters Optimization

Abstract:

With the development of the times, micro and small products are needed increasingly. The machining accuracy and surface quality are especially important to micro machining. However, in the micro milling, the size of the burr compared with that of the part is much greater than that of conventional milling. Moreover, it is difficult to remove micro milling burr by conventional deburring methods due to the small part size. The existence of burr will not only affect the match of parts, but also reduce the dimensional accuracy and surface quality of the work piece. Therefore, it is important to control and reduce micro-milling burr. Micro-milling experiments are carried out on the material of copper with micro-milling cutter diameter 0.5 mm. Micro grooves are milled with different cutting process parameters. The burrs generated under different conditions are analyzed using orthogonal test method. When the spindle speed and feed rate are constant, burrs increase with the increasing of cutting depth. Keeping the spindle speed and the depth of cut constant, burrs are generated increasingly with the increase of feed rate. And the decreasing of the spindle speed leads to the increase of burrs if the other parameters are constant. The experimental research provides reference for the burr control of micro-milling based on the optimization cutting process parameters.
