Determination of Wide Burnishing Energy-Force Parameters based on Constructing the Kinematically Admissible Velocity Field

Abstract

Processing technology using productive surface plastic deformation (SPD) was developed and is known as “wide burnishing” (WB). The mechanics of new WB technology differs from classic SPD technologies (rolling or burnishing). For example, force, applied during burnishing, is equal to 150–300 N, but for WB it is equal to 2500–5000 N due to implementing this process in mass production, characterized with limited processing time (3–4 turns of the work piece). WB also has a high degree of deformation due to a multiple deformation passes. An analytical study of burnishing with the upper bound approach method energy-force parameters was carried out. Its results were compared with the results of finite elements analysis in Deform 2D and with experimental data. Field of reasonable burnishing parameters, assuring minimum surface roughness, was determined experimentally.
