Burnishing is a cold process in which plastic deformation takes place by applying pressure on metallic surfaces through a ball or roller. This process is mainly used for completion and reinforcement. Let us have a deep insight into the advantages provided by the burnishing process.
Advantages of the burnishing process :
- It improves revolution size and finishes such as cylinders and conical surfaces.
- Possible to burn internal and external surfaces.
- Improves the hardness of the surface.
- Increases wear resistance and decrease fatigue and fight corrosion.
- It also eliminates the processes of grinding and honing that can be expensive.
- Mirror finish in one pass and accurate sizing, close tolerance and eliminate lapping and honing process too.
- Long tool life and no operator skill required.
- Machining time is short.
