Roller Burnishing, Surface Roughness, Microhardness, Inconel 718Abstract
Burnishing is cold working process where hard roller are being pressed against irregular surface, so that surface finish and the micro hardness increases. In this study, single roller burnishing tool is modified to control the burnishing force. Speed, feed, and number of passes have been varied to examine the surface properties. Roughness data, Micro hardness have been compared before burnishing & after burnishing for Inconel 718 material. Roller Burnishing reduces Surface Roughness from 3.66 micron to 0.31 micron.
