Shear slitting of aluminum webs
Abstract
Shear slitting of aluminum webs using both disk knives and block knives were investigated using a laboratory slitter. The effects of the clearance, overlap, blade overdrive, and cant angle on burr height were studied on four different aluminum webs. It was observed that the burr height is small when the clearance was less than a critical value, and the burr height increased drastically when the clearance was larger than the critical value. The effect of overdrive was negligible for the experiments performed. The burr formation was revealed through a series of micrographs at different stages of slitting.
