Enhancement of Surface Finish and Surface Hardness of Burnishing Process Using Taguchi Method

V. N. Deshmukh, S. S. Kadam

Abstract :

Ball burnishing is a cold working finishing process, wherein highly polished and hard balls are pressed against a metallic surface of a flat or cylindrical component. In ball burnishing, initial asperities are compresses and modified. The deformation caused is a function of load applied. Since all machined surface consists of a series of peaks and valleys of irregular height and spacing, the plastic deformation created by ball burnishing is a displacement of the material in the peaks which cold flows under pressure into the valleys. The surface material is progressively compressed, then plasticized as the resultant stresses reach a steady maximum value and finally wiped to a superfine finish. In this paper the Taguchi method is presented for enhancement of surface finish and surface hardness.
