The effect of a smoothing-burnishing process strongly depends on the initial roughness of a workpiece. This factor has not been considered by existing classical models of the processes. In this paper, assuming a model of burnishing with a spherical tool, in the form of wedges of surface roughness deformed with a force normal to the base line, expressions describing the relation between burnishing force and displacement of the tops of surface asperities is derived. The expression includes the effect of mechanical properties of the workpiece material, geometry of contact of the tool with the workpiece and the roughness of the burnished surface. Using the derived expressions it is possible to determine an optimum burnishing force. This has been verified experimentally. The experiment made it possible to demonstrate that the optimum burnishing force of the ground 42CrMo4 steel samples was 11-15 daN and that the burnishing effect depends a lot not only on the mechanical properties of the machined workpiece and the geometry of the contact area between the tool and the workpiece but also on the initial surface roughness. The applied optimum burnishing force, calculated on the basis of the theoretical, assumed model-derived dependences, is 12-13 daN. The above proves the validity of the adopted assumptions and the formulas worked out. (c) 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
