Analytical analysis of the theoretical surface roughness in the case of burnishing of cylindrical workpiece

Abstract

Over the past decade, ensuring the highest possible quality of the manufactured parts has become a major priority, leading to a focus on the investigation and development of finishing processes that can effectively meet the increasingly stringent quality requirements. For this purpose, surface burnishing with diamond tools, which belongs to the cold plastic forming technologies, can be successfully applied. However, the design of the surface roughness in chipless way is a complicated and complex process, despite the fact that new possibilities and methods for investigating structural changes in materials are constantly being developed as engineering technology advances. This paper discusses the possibilities of determining the theoretical roughness of burnished surface to define a mathematical model that can predict the relationship between machining parameters and surface roughness parameters.
