Abstract

In this paper, ball burnishing as a mechanical surface treatment for improving productivity and quality of
rotating shafts is presented. When this method is applied after conventional turning, the resulting process is rapid, simple
and cost effective, directly applicable in lathes and turning centers of production lines. This process provides good
surface finish, and surface hardness increment of the surface layer, which in turn improves wear resistance, increases
corrosion resistance, improves tensile strength, maintains dimensional stability and improves the fatigue strength of the
work piece. This paper deals with finite element analysis of burnishing process on aluminum alloy 6061 T6 material
using Lathe machine. The input parameters are speed, feed& Burnishing force and the output parameter is surface
roughness.
Results show that burnishing is an economical and feasible mechanical treatment for the quality improvement of surface
roughness of rotating components.
