Burnishing, as a micro plastic working, is a finishing process used in conjuction with or in replacement of reaming, honing, lapping, and/or grinding. The tool which is a smooth, round steel ball slightly larger than the bore is pushed through pre-machined hole, leaving a closely controlled finish. The major application of the processes is to improve the geometric and mechanical properties of surface such as (1) dimensional accuracy, (2) surface roughness, (3) bearing ratio, (4) surface hardness, (5) wear resistance, (6) fatigue and corrosion resistance, etc. Therefore, this study carried out some experiments to illustrate the theoretical formula and to investigate surface accuracy (e.g. variation of diameter, surface roughness, bearing ratio) in accordance with the applied burnishing load.

Recently, the use of aluminum components in the reduction of the vehicle weight to improve fuel efficiency and reduce carbon dioxide emissions has increased. In the aluminum machining cutting process, hole-making is an important process that accounts for 30% of the machining process. Although many studies have been conducted using the continuously advancing hole processing technology, studies on the machinability of the tool depending on the type of chuck on the workpiece are still lacking. In this study, the machining performance of cemented carbide burnishing drills was compared and analyzed according to chuck type. The burnishing drill was used to create a hole in the AL6061 workpiece, and the surface roughness and dimensional accuracy of the hole were examined according to the type of chuck while monitoring the spindle load.

An attempt to automate the surface finishing process of the die and mould has been carried out. An UMB(Ultrasonic Micro Burnishing) equipment which brought the micro plastic cold deformation to the 3D sculptured surface of mold and dies by ultrasonic vibration and static load, was developed and installed at the head stock of a vertical machining center. To be satisfied with the required surface roughness and hardness, the DB based program was also developed and applied. This equipment composes of UMB equipement, CNC vertical machining center, CAD/CAM system and the DB based program fer optimal condition. UMB processing effect was obtained from initial value Ral.25 and Hk337 to Ra0.085 and Hk521 and similar result was shown in industrial mould application.
