Experimental investigation and numerical simulation of burr formation in micro-milling of polycarbonates

Polycarbonates are naturally transparent amorphous polymers, used extensively nowadays to replace some of the applications of glass. Polycarbonates possess excellent impact and heat resistance, which made them suitable candidates for automotive, semiconductor, medical, household, and many industrial applications. Although polycarbonates are mostly formed by molding, further processing, especially machining of them still remains challenging. The...
