Formulation and Comparison of Experimental based Mathematical Model with Artificial Neural Network Simulation on Surface Roughness with Burnished Spherical Surface Tool on Aluminum Alloy6351

Abstract

This paper deals with the effect of burnishing process on the Aluminum Alloy material 6351(HE 15) using Lathe. Surface roughness generated after the turning operation was used to ball burnishing. The surface roughness pattern which was further used to simulate ball burnishing process using ANN. Improvement in the surface roughness values achieved for tool steel after ball burnishing process was 98.2429%.
