  Burnishing is a cold working surface finishing process in which peaks and valleys on machined surfaces deformed plastically by the application of hard and finished ball or roller against to it. Recently burnishing is becoming popular among post finishing processes because of its many advantages along its primary role i.e., increasing surface finish. In this paper the effect of burnishing process parameters on surface roughness and hardness of brass alloy is experimentally investigated. A simple roller burnishing tool was used for the experiential work of the present study, surface test and micro hardness test were used to demonstrate the effects of the burnishing force and feed rate on surface roughness and surface hardness of a brass alloy. The smoothing process under consideration can be performed on standard machine tools without additional reconfiguration tasks. Process is very us.. Read More»
