Current Deburring Methods Used in Industry

Abstract

Deburring involves several aspects often overlooked. While over 100 deburring processes exist there is still no universally accepted definition of what the term “deburred” really implies. Deburring and edge standards are available, but are often ignored. The functional requirement probably is to finish edges as opposed to just deburr. Environmental, health and safety issues are important considerations in the selection and use of any edge finishing process. Many of the deburring processes are still laboratory curiosities at this time.
