Abstract
The effect of various parameters on the surface roughness of an aluminium alloy burnished with a spherical surfaced polycrystalline diamond tool are studied experimentally with a theoretical analysis. Problems in selecting the optimum burnishing parameters and some burnishing mechanisms are discussed. With suitable parameters employed, the new no-chip finishing process developed can eliminate or reduce the cutting marks left on the workpiece surface by diamond cutting tools, with its surface roughness reduced to Ra=0.026 μm from the original 0.5 μm.
