Abstract : Conventional processes of finishing include grinding, lapping , super finishing etc., but in many cases they are found to increase the process cost and lead time of manufacture of components . Burnishing is an easy and efficient technique for enhancing surface quality and can be performed on standard machines like a lathe. Because of its high production rate, it reduces manufacturing costs compared to traditional finishing methods such as grinding, honing, and super-finishing. In addition, surfaces treated by burnishing exhibit improved wear resistance and longer fatigue life. Project work includes the design and development of the dual roller hydraulically operated tool head with The roller burnishing setup employs rollers manufactured from HCHCR material, while the tool holder is fabricated from EN-9 steel. The required force is applied through a hydraulic pressure adjustment system, in which pressure is generated and controlled using a hydraulic pump. The performance evaluation has been done by testing the tool head on EN 9 material and the effect of hydraulic pressure is varied is noted for surface finish and case hardness for the above said material.

Keywords : Dual Roller, Hydraulic, Burnishing , Surface Finish , Case Hardness.
