Surface finishing by roller burnishing using apparatus of permanent magnet

Abstract

The authors present the results of experimental and developing work regarding Magnetic Aided Roller Burnishing (MARB) process and apparatus using permanent magnet that operates by surface finishing, deburring and by the strain hardening effect. Additionally, the paper demonstrates the benefit of using the apparatus with permanent magnet against using the apparatus with electro magnet. Finite Element Method (FEM) modelling software system was used in support of the experimental results.
