Influence of slide burnishing process on the surface characteristics of precipitation hardenable steel

Abstract The surface integrity of the material is predominant necessity a component to perform efficiently in varying working conditions. To improve workpiece secondary finishing processes are being performed. This work attempts propose realistic cryogenic slide burnishing condition for improvement integrity. was performed by novel tool on 17–4 precipitation hardenable stainless steel. experiment designed based central composite design. Initially, effect control parameters output response examined experimental analysis design experiment. Analysis variance used analyze influence variables performance indices. regression technique develop an empirical model. Optimization process finding minimum roughness and maximum hardness achieved multi-objective genetic algorithm. optimized solutions were validated performing confirmation experiments.
