Abstract : This study optimizes milling parameters to suppress burr formation in aluminum alloys (5A06, 6061, 6063) using Taguchi L9 orthogonal experiments and ANOVA. Cutting speed (1000-5000 r/min), feed rate (0.01-0.1 mm/r), and depth of cut (1-5 mm) were evaluated for exit-side (B1) and side-direction (B2) burr dimensions. Signal-to-noise ratio analysis identified optimal parameters: 5000 r/min speed, 0.055 mm/r feed, 1 mm depth for 5A06/6061, and 5000 r/min, 0.01 mm/r feed, 1 mm depth for 6063. Parameter influence hierarchies revealed feed rate dominant for 5A06/6061, while cutting speed most critical for 6063, with depth of cut least impactful across all alloys. ANOVA statistically validated these trends, confirming alloy-specific control mechanisms. Validation achieved up to 90% burr reduction, providing a practical framework to eliminate deburring in aluminum milling processes.
