In this research, the optimum rate of burnishing force for
burnishing samples of Al-6061 was found, in order to have the
best finish of the surface .
Different tests were carried out on samples of Al-6061 by
application different values of burnis
hing force without changing
the other parameters of the ball burnishing operation .
The experiences were carried out by using ball burnishing tool
and CNC milling machine with three-axis .
In this research, we have studied the ability of using a trochoidal
curve as a programmable path to finish flat surfaces of
aluminum-6061 specimens using ball burnishing technique. The
experiments were carried out by using the ball burnishing tool
which was designed, manufactured, and fixed on 3-axis CNC
milling machine .
