Abstract. In these days, diamond burnishing is frequently used for final finishing manufacturing operations of components. Diamond burnishing belongs to cold plastic manufacturing procedures. When using this technique, the following advantages can be obtained: micro-hardness of near surface layer is increasing; surface roughness is improving and the shape correctness is also improving. This paper deals with how the different technological parameters of burnishing, such as the feed rate, the burnishing speed and the burnishing force effect on the cylindricity of the burnished workpiece. The experiment was done on some specimen having outer cylindrical surfaces. The experiments were executed by the Taguchi type Full Factorial Experiment Design method with which empirical formulas can be efficiently created. The measurements of the cylindricity of specimens were done with a circular and position error measuring. From the measured data, special improvement ratios were calculated in order to define the appropriate range of technological parameters which results high improvements. Further aim was to compare the measured values of different cylindricity parameters.
This study describes the determination and optimization of burnishing process parameters and their effects on surface roughness of EN AW-2011 aluminium alloy workpieces. The process has a low environmental load and the chip-free burnishing process improves the integrity of the machined surface, but to achieve this, the different burnishing parameters, for example, burnishing force, feed rate, speed and number of passes, must be properly defined according to the material of the workpiece. In our research, a full factorial experimental design method is used to plan and carry out the experiments and to determine the most appropriate parameter range for this material quality.
