Burr formation in short hole drilling with minimum quantity lubrication

摘要

Machining with minimum quantity lubrication (MQL) is state of the art. Previous investigations were, however, concerned with tool optimisation and the surface quality of workpieces as well as coating technology. By now the same or partly better machining results than in conventional cutting with flood lubrication can be achieved due to adjusted tool geometries, workpiece materials and coatings. Tests about burr formation in short hole drilling exist for dry cutting or the machining with emulsion. This paper expands these results to the burr formation in machining with MQL.
