Analysis of Effect of Ball and Roller Burnishing Processes on Surface Roughness on EN8 Steel

Abstract

This experimental study focuses on effect of various parameters and optimization of burnishing processes on surface finish of EN8 material during burnishing operation. In industry area use various surface finishing operations such as lapping, honing, etc. which is removal of the material from its surface. In the present experimentation, ball and roller burnishing processes which is plastic deformation are used with varying machining parameters to achieve the desirable surface finish. The experiment is carried out on the CNC machine of a particular job of EN8 material. By use of the Taguchi methodology optimum machining parameters obtained gives improved surface finish.
