Effects of Technological Parameters on the Surface Texture of Burnished Surfaces

Abstract

In this study we analysed the process of diamond burnishing. We examined the effect of burnishing technological parameters on the surface roughness of the burnished surface, and on the improvement ratio of surface roughness. Parameters taking into consideration during examinations are burnishing speed, burnishing feed, and burnishing force. We determined a formula suitable for determination of the improvement ratio of surface roughness by the Factorial Experimental Design which is valid in the examined parameter range.
