Abstract
This paper explores the effects on the surface roughness, hardness and residual
stress of G10380 steel specimens milled and treated with a ball-burnishing process
assisted by vibrations. These vibrations are incorporated through the attachment of an
induced coil module to a conventional burnishing tool, with forces transmitted through a
pre-loaded spring. A positive effect of vibrations on the improvement and efficiency of
the burnishing treatment is demonstrated, empirically proving that the vibrations
introduce additional energy into the system that aids with displacements along the
surface of the material to reallocate the crystalline structure. Significant results are
found in terms of final surface roughness, which is highly improved in comparison to
conventional burnishing treatments, even with fewer passes and a significant time
reduction. Less robust results are observed in terms of specimen hardness and
residual stress, but future improvements could be derived with a thorough development
of the vibration system.
