INFLUENCE OF DIAMOND BURNISHING ON CORE HEIGHT AN TEN-POINT HEIGHT

Diamond burnishing is a cold plastic forming process, which used as surface improvement finishing treatment after conventional chip removal procedures. This paper presents the experimental study of the impact of different burnishing parameters on 3D surface roughness on cylindrical low alloyed aluminium workpieces. To carry out comparative analysis, measurement of surface roughness was implemented before and after burnishing with an Altisurf 520 measuring device. The results enable a more accurate understanding of the processes that take place during the procedure and, for industrial applications, can help reduce machining time and costs by better defining the set-up parameters.
