MINIMIZATION OF
BURR IN DRILLING
Under The Guidance of Prof.

N. S. Das
Objective of
Project
• To become familiar with burr formation in
drilling
• To study the variation heights of burr in

drilling of Aluminum and Mild Steel work-
pieces with different feed, spindle speed for
and three different diameters
Backgrou
nd
• Burrs are defined as undesirable projections
of materials beyond the edge of the work-
piece arising due to plastic deformation
during machining.
• Burrs can cause many problems during

inspection, assembly, and automated
manufacturing of precision components.
Therefore, it is desirable for precision parts
to be free from burr. This project considers
burr assessment in drilling operations.
Experimental
Parameters
The burr height depends on many variables.
They are:
– Drill Geometry, Drill Sharpness, Drill

Diameter
– Drill machine conditions – Vibration and
Deflection
– Work material geometry and its properties
– Drilling Conditions – Spindle speed and Feed
– Cutting Fluid composition, flow rate and
method
For this of application
project the effect of feed, spindle
speed, drill diameter and work material will be
used as input parameters
Scope of
our
Project
Materi
als
• Aluminum alloy (bright aluminum) blocks of
size 60mm x 30mm x 16mm.
• Mild steel
blocks of size
60mm x
30mm x
16mm
Machine tool and
Tools
• R. K. Engineering Radial Drilling machine
with 2HP. The drilling machine allows three
discrete variations in the spindle speed and
three discrete variations in feed.
• High speed steel (HSS) drill bits of diameter

6mm, 8mm and 10 mm
Measuring
Instruments
• Meter M Horizontal
Floor Profilometers
with 10 x lens, 20x
lens, 50x lens,
• Magnification
accuracy ±0.1%
and surface
±0.15%, with least
count of 0.01 mm
Experimental
Procedure
• Determine the spindle speed and feed rate
at different settings of the drilling machine
• Drill holes in both Aluminum and Mild Steel

work pieces with all combinations of feed,
spindle speed and diameter
• Determine the heights of burr using

Profilometer
• Record the observations and plot the

graphs
Determination of spindle
speed and feed rate
• The drilling machine
allows three discrete
variations in the
spindle speed and
three corresponding
discrete variations in
the feed
• But the values of

these feed and
spindle speed are
measured individually
and has been
SPINDLE SPEED
MEASUREMENT:
• Fix a counter sunk shaft in

the drill spindle
• Values of spindle speed

are measured with the
help of a Tachometer
FEED MEASUREMENT:
• Feed values are

measured by
recording the
distance traversed
using graduations on
the quill
• Time to move a
certain distance for
all the feeds are
recorded using a stop
watch
• And finally the feed is

To drill holes in work
pieces
• Three holes are drilled in each block with
same spindle speed & diameter and three
different feed rates.
• This process was repeated for other two
spindle speeds and other drill diameters
also
To determine the burr
• height
The Profilometer
enlarges a two
dimensional shadow of
the work piece on the
projection screen
• Work piece kept on the
table is moved by
rotating the micrometer
so that the cross hair
line moves from metal
surface to highest tip of
the burr
• Burr height is the
difference between
Burr Observed in Drilling
Process
•The Results obtained from Profilometer are
tabulated and then plotted graphically for
easier interpretation and understanding
• BURR HEIGHT VS FEED: These graphs show

the burr height against feed for different
values of RPM for both Aluminum and Mild
Steel for all three diameters
• EFFECT OF DRILL DIAMETER: These graphs
helps us in comparing how burr height is
influenced by Drill diameter
• EFFECT OF WORK MATERIAL: These graphs
helps us in comparing how burr height is
influenced by work material and its
Burr Height vs.
Feed
• The first set of graphs plotted are Burr
Height against Feed for different values of
RPM for both Aluminum and Mild Steel for
all three diameters
• So there are three graphs each for

Aluminum and Mild Steel (one for each
diameter 6mm , 8mm, and 10mm)
• Aluminum, 6mm diameter
• Aluminum, 8mm diameter.
• Aluminum, 10mm diameter.
• Mild Steel ,6mm diameter.
• Mild Steel, 8mm diameter.
• Mild Steel, 10mm diameter.
Effect Of Drill
Diameter
• These graphs plot burr height against nine
different combinations of feed and RPM for
each Drill diameter.
• So there are two graphs one each for

Aluminum and Mild Steel
• These graphs help us in comparing how burr

height is influenced by Drill diameter
• Aluminum
• Mild Steel
Effect of Work
Material
• These graphs plot burr height against nine
different combinations of feed and RPM for
each Work material
• So we will three graphs one for each Drill

diameter
• These graphs helps us in comparing how

burr height is influenced by Work material
• Drill diameter 6mm
Conclusi
on
FEED vs. BURR HEIGHT
• The first three graphs are of aluminum we
observed that at low rpm on increase of
feed rate, the burr height increases
• We further observed that at medium rpm on

increase of feed, burr height tends to a
constant value
• At highest rpm there is no such pattern
• The same pattern can be observed in mild

steel but with a few exceptions
Conclusions
contd..
EFFECT OF DRILL DIAMETER ON BURR
HEIGHT
• In aluminum we observed that the average
burr height is maximum with 8mm drill
whereas in mild steel 6mm drill gives the
largest burr
EFFECT OF WORK MATERIAL ON BURR

HEIGHT
• We observed that in the two graphs of 8mm
and 10mm drill diameter, the burr heights of
aluminum is less compared to mild steel.
Introduct
ion
• A burr is a plastically deformed material
that remained on the work piece after
machining
