The influence of burnishing parameters on the hardness and roughness on the surface layer stainless steel

Purpose: The aim of the study was description to the influence of technological parameters of burnishing process on the degree of relative strain hardening and surface roughness reduction ratio. Design/methodology/approach: Burnishing process carried out for stainless steels X2CrNiMo17-12-2. After the experimental research, it was determined that there was an increase in hardness and a decrease in roughness. The hardness was measured with the use of Vickers hardness tester. Observation of the microstructure of stainless steel samples was carried out using scanning electron microscopy and optical microscopy. The parameters of surface roughness measurements were performed to the principles contained in ISO standards. Findings: In the production and regeneration of metal products used in machine elements is important to technological quality surface layer. In surface engineering one of the ecological and economic treatments used for endurance and technological properties is burnishing. This is a surface forming a local plastic deformation based on the overall impression given by smooth and hard tool. Practical implications: The burnishing due the technological and economic aspect in the production and regeneration of machine parts in exchange for the abrasive processing can be used. In production engineering or technology of repair cylindrical outer surfaces (e.g. plugs propulsion shaft centrifugal pumps seawater) are finishing. You can therefore propose burnishing in exchange for abrasive machining. Originality/value: Important question to determine in the article of the research was to received appropriate technological quality. After the tests, it was found that the technological parameters are influenced by the hardness and the roughness of the outer cylindrical surfaces and the material ratio curve a convex shaped, which, taking into account the load capacity of the surface will be directly affected by its resistance to wear and corrosion of the surface layer.
