Abstract
This paper reports on the optimization ofthe surface finish produced by ball burnishing process, using the surface response (RMS) methodology. A second order mathematical model correlating four predominant process parameters, viz, burnishing force, speed, ball diameter and number of tool pass, with the surface roughness parameter has been obtained. The model can be used in selecting the optimum process parameters for obtaining a desired control surface finish. The empirical results agree reasonably well, deviating by about2.1%.
