Burnishing is a cold working process improves surface roughness, wear resistance, corrosion resistance… etc. by introducing residual compressive stress into the surface of the work piece. In this study five pass of burnishing process was applied to machined 15 mm diameter AISI 316L austenitic stainless steel in five different depth of burnishing (0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4 and 0.5 mm), burnishing time was one minute and spindle speed were 1050 rpm and 1800 rpm. Surface roughness of burnishing surface was detected. At low spindle speed 1050 rpm the lower surface roughness of burnished surface can be obtained during burnishing austenitic stainless steel AISI 316L in fifth pass and depth of burnishing equal to 0.5 mm. While at higher spindle speed the best surface finish can be obtained during burnishing AISI 316L austenitic stainless steel in fourth pass and depth of burnishing equal to 0.4 mm.
