Influence of Minimum Quantity Lubrication on Burr Formation in Milling

Workpieces that are manufactured by machining processes often have to be deburred with considerable effort. This rework involves time and costs. The avoidance or at least minimisation of burr formation offers potential for a more economical production. Another possibility to save costs is to use minimum quantity lubrication. The investigation into the burr formation in milling with minimum quantity lubrication combines these two approaches. The test results presented in this paper show the influence both procedures have on burr formation.
