“…However the resulting deep hardness profiles or residual stresses measured trough X-ray diffraction were not affected by the process differently from the way that the conventional ball burnishing process did. Later, Amini et al (2017) applied the VABB process through 17-23 kHz vibration based on a piezoelectric transducer, adjusted by a FEM, although the authors do not specify the actual frequency applied during the assisted tests, but set the amplitude in 8 μm. The burnishing force was regulated directly by controlling the depth of penetration of the ball with the help of a dynamometer installed in the milling machine.…”

This paper presents the design and characterization of an ultrasonic vibration-assisted ball burnishing (VABB) tool on Ti-6Al-4V. This process is based on the modification of conventional ball burnishing, by means of the addition of a 40-kHz vibratory force to the burnishing preload exerted by the spring inside the tool. For the purposes of successfully executing the process, a new tool is designed through the assembly of different modules responsible for the various aspects involved in it. That design is hereby presented. Then, a methodology comprising acoustic emission and high frequency sampling is proposed to characterize the functioning of a prototype manufactured according to the previously presented design. The set of techniques deployed to measure the performance of the VABB prototype is presented as a feasible means of characterizing this sort of advanced manufacturing tools, especially like this one which is governed by ultrasonic frequencies. Last of all, the prototype is tested on a Ti-6Al-4V surface to validate it. The superior results of VABB, compared to the non-assisted version of the process, is shown in terms of average and total surface roughness, as well as surface hardness. The highest improvement is achieved by applying the VABB process with 300 N and 5 passes. The effectiveness of the designed prototype is confirmed, and places this kind of VABB tools as inexpensive systems to successfully execute an innovative finishing process for industrial components.

“…However, inappropriate selection of process factors may cause chip formation that adversely influences surface quality. According to the reviewed works by scholars [19][20][21][22], the chip, burr or flash formation in burnishing process is a result of excessive contact pressure. Thus, a threshold value for parameters influencing contact pressure (i.e.…”

“…Revankar et al [19] revealed in their experimental attempt that increase of pass number results in formation of flaky surface in Ti-6Al-4V. Amini et al [20] showed that increase of vibration amplitude than a critical value results in chip formation in the surface of AA6061-T6. Teimouri et al [21] showed that increase of static pressure above a threshold value causes fracture of the surface that deteriorates the surface roughness.…”

In mechanical based machining processes, the surface topography is generated through series of hierarchical pattern. Plastic deformation as result of contact and kinematic of motion are two main factors which determine evolution of surface generation. To basically optimize the surface quality, accurate predictive model of surface generation and constraints are required. In the present work, analytical models of dimple formation and hierarchical surface generation in ultrasonic assisted ball burnishing process are proposed. Pileup and sink-in as two phenomena of indentation during both of loading and unloading phases were taken into the developed models. Considering interaction of indentation profile and kinematic of motion, three-dimensional surface topography and surface roughness are also analytically predicted. A criterion for surface failure is defined to perform process without any erosion. Confirmation of results have been made by series of single trace and multitraces burnishing experiments on AA6061-T6 and AISI 1045. The results of indention profile, surface topography, roughness and failure criterion which were derived from predictive models were completely consistent with confirmatory experiments.

“…For that reason, the effects of vibration-assisted ball burnishing (VABB) must be assessed on different materials and under different circumstances to understand what the actual implications of the process itself are. However, today we know that VABB on carbon steel alloys delivers more positive results than its non-assisted counterpart, increasing the depth of affectation of the treated surface [12] and improving the rolling movement of the burnishing ball, which prevent damage of the objective surface [13]. Results are also positive on other alloys, such as A92017-T4 [14].…”

The superficial effect of hardening caused after vibration-assisted ball burnishing and its consequences in the tensile behavior of a carbon steel material are studied in this paper. As ball burnishing affects the material to hundredths of micrometers in depth through plastic deformation, the overall macro effect of this modification was studied. Different levels of preload and vibration amplitude were studied to address the described issue. The study was done in two phases. First of all, the depth to which ball burnishing affects the material was studied by performing Vickers indentation tests with different loads. It was proven that the effects of ball burnishing are best represented when a 0.05 kg load is used, as higher loads include more volume of core material in the measurement, hence hiding the effect of ball burnishing. In a second phase, the ball burnished specimens were subjected to tensile tests. It was proven that an increase of burnishing preload diminishes the ductile behavior of the material and increases its strength representative values, although the proportion of affected material in the cross-section of the specimen is reduced with regard to the whole surface. Additionally, as the preload increases, the effects of assistance through vibrations is reduced, and the effect of the static preload acquires more relevance in modifying the macroscopic mechanical properties of the steel alloy. Experiments using different amplitudes and new forces are encouraged to obtain more information about how the material can be modified optimally through vibration-assisted ball burnishing.
