Proposed Industry Definitions For Burrs and Related Protrusions

The burr is a byproduct of manufacturing and because of this little insignificant creation the cost of the finished piece part is greatly influenced. Man knows how to remove it; however, he has never successfully defined the burr. Today, the engineer, operating shop, and the inspector are working closer together than ever before to try to define, measure, and interpret the burr by the same standard. The ideas in this paper will introduce the manufacturing engineer to the beginning of proposed burr and related definitions. 8 refs.
