Study on Burr Removal Technology of Micro-Channelsby a Micro Slurry Jet

Abstract:

Micro-channels are widely used in many fields. There are a lot of burrs in the process of micro-channel machining, which affect the performance of micro-channels. In this study, some polishing experiments are conducted for the burr removal of micro-channels by the micro slurry jet on the home made micro slurry jet machining system. The morphology and the roughness of the micro-channels are measured. The factors to influence the burr removal and the micro-channel surface quality are analyzed in order to take measures to improve the surface quality. The results show that the micro slurry jet polishing not only removes the micro channel burrs, but also improves the micro channel surface quality. It is helpful to increase the flow of medium inside micro channel.
