This paper presents the effects of modeling the stress in the burnished layer of a complex spatial surface that was previously milled. A spatial kinematicgeometric model of the surface structure after milling is used. This paper presents the results of a numerical experiment on the synergic influence of the technological milling and burnishing parameters responsible for the final state of the geometric structure of a surface on the post-machining stress in the surface layer. The stress in the surface layer plays an important role because it is frequently responsible for the development of cracks, corrosion, and cavitation (in the surface area of injection aluminum molds, press tools, and core cutters). A proper understanding of the mechanisms responsible for the origin and development of residual stress will be conducive to the improvement of functional properties and longer tool life.

Hybrid techniques for surface treatment should ensure compliance with exterior layer state and stress requirements. The more factors which influence final treatment effects, the more difficult it is to conduct a technological process combining different treatment methods. A combination of shaping milling with finishing burnishing can provide very good smoothness and satisfactory stress conditions. However, implementation of predefined geometric surface specifications (GPS) is very difficult. This article presents the results of the effect of technological parameters of both treatments combined into a single operation on surface topography. A new surface geometry evaluation approach, combining both relative and absolute changes of isotropy and surface roughness, enabling an objective efficiency comparison of machining operations combined in a single operation, is presented.

The machinability of hard-to-cut CoCr alloys manufactured by Selective Laser Melting (SLM) technology is not yet sufficiently studied. Therefore, this work focuses on evaluation of surface texture formation during face turning of CoCr alloy. As part of the research, two specimen types were subject to comparison: made with the application of conventional casting and manufactured by additive manufacturing—SLM. A number of analytical and experimental methods were employed to describe the specimen composition and morphology, as: X-Ray Diffraction Analysis (XRD), optical metallurgical microscopy, confocal optical microscopy, and Vickers hardness HV0.1 measurements. In the next stage, the measurements of surface topographies formed during turning in a range of variable cutting speeds and feeds were carried out. Ultimately the multi-factor MANOVA (Multivariate Analysis of Variance) illustrating the influence of manufacturing technology, cutting speed, and feed ratio on selected surface parameters of samples was made. It has been demonstrated that during face turning with feeds up to 0.15 mm/rev, the similar values of surface roughness height and material ratio curve parameters were reached for both tested CoCr alloys. However, in a range of higher feed values, the surface quality of CoCr samples fabricated by SLM was lower than that reached for CoCr after casting process.
