Abstract
Among superfinishing processes, belt finishing is well known for its ability to induce compressive residual stresses and low surface roughness. Moreover, it is promoted by industry, as this process requires limited investments and is easy to handle. Combined with hard turning, precise dimensions and fine surface roughness of the parts can be ensured. Therefore, the combination of these processes could replace the grinding operation performed on automotive gear shafts for example. The article proposes to study the effects of the belt finishing operation on surface integrity of 27MnCr5 carburized steel shafts. Residual stresses and surface roughness are investigated for hard machined and belt finished samples. Afterwards, rotating bending fatigue tests are performed, and the fatigue limit of the belt-finished samples is compared with hard machined ones.
