Study of parametric optimization of burr formation in step drilling of eutectic Al–Si alloy–Gr composites

In this study, the effect of the step drill's geometries such as step angle, step size and cutting parameters such as feed and spindle speed on the exit burr height was investigated for burr minimization in drilling of Al–Gr composites which are fabricated through squeeze casting method. The ex...
