Prediction of Parameters for the Burr Dimensions in Short-Hole Drilling

The following paper presents a method for the determination of the burr dimensions to be expected in short-hole drilling, simultaneously taking the parameters into consideration which influence the burr formation. These parameters are yield stress, forces and the geometry of the inserts. The method is based on empirical cutting examinations and takes account into the correlation between different burr parameters and the machining conditions such as cutting speed, feed and tool geometry. Using Schaefer's burr value g, it is possible to make a quantitative evaluation of the burr dimensions. The method was verified for the materials 16 MnCr 5 and Ck 45 in case of dry machining.
