Abstract

This paper deals with optimization of ball burnishing process in CNC machining centre using response surface methodology. Response surface methodology is a collection of mathematical and statistical techniques which is used to model and optimize the response. The ball burnishing tool is used in a CNC machining centre for finishing after an end milling process. The tool and work piece materials are Tungsten carbide and Tool steel (T215Cr12). The input parameters are burnishing force, feed, speed and number of passes. The output parameters are surface roughness and surface hardness. The output parameters are modelled and optimized using response surface methodology. The minimum surface roughness and surface hardness are 0.054 μm and 40 HRC respectively. The optimized surface roughness and surface hardness are 0.055 μm and 46.69 HRC respectively with overall desirability factor of 0.972. Overlaid contour plots are drawn for the constraints.
