Effect of innovative burnishing method by utilizing a flank face of a turning tool on surface quality of Al-Alloy

Burnishing is a surface treatment process that involves cold working. The process entails exerting pressure through a hard and smooth roller or ball onto a surface, resulting in plastic deformation of surface irregularities and the creation of a uniform, work-hardened surface.

Description
Summary:Burnishing is a surface treatment process that involves cold working. The process entails exerting pressure through a hard and smooth roller or ball onto a surface, resulting in plastic deformation of surface irregularities and the creation of a uniform, work-hardened surface. This study investigated the impact of burnishing force, burnishing feed, number of passes, and step-over on surface roughness and hardness. To facilitate burnishing on an NC lathe, we proposed a new method that employs a flank face positioned a few millimeters below the nose cutting edge of a tool. This research paper focused on fixed burnishing depth, speed, feed, and number of passes to study surface quality parameters. We presented our findings on surface roughness, surface micro hardness, and circularity. Ultimately, our results demonstrated the efficacy of the proposed method for achieving desired surface properties through burnishing.
