(TP04PUB349), electrochemical finishing (TP08PUB18), rotary ultrasonic machining (TP11PUB39) and lasers (TP11PUB9). Other offerings show the range of perpetual interest in how to deburr in all kinds of conditions: burr removal dif-
ficulties in gas turbine engine components (TP10PUB38), advances in nonwoven abrasive technology (TP14PUB15), burr formation in stacked aluminum sheets (TP08PUB96), emerging trends in abrasive finishing processes (TP- 08PUB113), burr formation in drilling of intersecting holes (TP99PUB106) and deburring small intersecting holes (TP80PUB205).

Sometimes still referred to as the “common cold of industry,” despite ma- jor advances in manufacturing technol- ogy, deburring is an economic fact of life for most machining plants. The preceding statements from TP10PUB84 accompany the results of a survey on the cost of burrs conducted in March 2010 by SME. Previous cost of burrs studies by SME in 1978 and 1983 are compared to the 2010 findings. Across all industries, in 2010 the cost of burrs was roughly 5.5% of the cost of the parts made, or $5 billion annually for American and Canadian industry. Several other SME Tech Papers over the years have reported on deburring costs (TP80PUB180, TP81PUB166, TP04PUB179 and TP10PUB110).
Deburring costs were listed as a concern by 95% of respondents in the 2010 survey, compared with 72% in 1977. The tutorial knowledge and practical techniques in SME’s paper col- lection can be just the finishing touch to help reduce burr formation and deburr today’s materials and complex parts.
