- Abstract
This paper studies the effect of a burnishing process on the mechanical properties of the material. It is designed to apply burnishing on a flat surface of Acetal Homopolymer material, by studying several burnishing factors that are expected to affect the mechanical properties of the material such as toughness and the material ultimate and breaking strengths. Enhancing these mechanical properties, improves the material grade and alleviates its quality. The controllable factors that are expected to enhance the mechanical properties of the material are the number of tool passes during burnishing; burnishing depth, and burnishing feed rate. Due to the expensive nature of running the experiment, a 2k factorial experimental design with nine centre points and three replicates are used to minimize the number of runs. Polynomial models of second order are proposed for prediction and optimization purposes.
