Finite Element Analysis of Milling Roller-Burnishing Process on Surface Integrity for Non-Ferrous Metal

Abstract

In today's world, large amount of attention is given to the surface roughness and surface micro hardness of the material as it's mechanical properties are greatly influenced by the surface finish. Surface Roughness is generally a measure of irregularities of the surface. It is essential to analyze the surface roughness of the material in order to avoid the failure of the material. A large number of parameters are involved analyzing the surface roughness such as type of tool, tool material, work piece material, machining operation, cutting parameters and cutting fluids. This paper aims to show that how surface roughness of the material reacts when different cutting parameters are adopted using face milling operation and how it reacts when finishing of the surface is done using roller burnishing operation experimentally and validate the results using FEM analysis using DEFORM 3D.
