Aj. Black et al., ANALYSIS AND EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION OF A SIMPLIFIED BURNISHING PROCESS, International journal of mechanical sciences, 39(6), 1997, pp. 629
A slipline field model of a simplified burnishing process is used to d
erive equations for estimating the burnishing force, the depth of the
burnished layer and the plastic strains in this layer. A detailed comp
arison is made between predicted and experimental results. An observat
ion of considerable practical interest is the high quality surface fin
ish (low surface roughness) which can be obtained by the burnishing pr
ocess described. Copyright (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.
