Abstract

This paper numerically and experimentally establishes a connection between shear deformation of the AISI 304 steel surface layer and the sliding velocity of a diamond indenter in multi-pass nanostructuring burnishing. Results of finite-element simulation of the process fully correspond to the experimental data obtained when changing the sliding velocity from 40 to 280 m/min after one and five tool passes. The experiment’s burnishing force was assumed to be 150 and 175 N, and feed was 0.025 mm/min. After surface machining, the maximum microhardness reached 400 HV_0.05 at the depth of 30 µm from the surface after five indenter passes with the sliding velocity values of 40 and 200 m/min and burnishing force of 175 N.

Keywords: nanostructuring burnishing; surface layer; microhardness; AISI 304 steel; finite-element simulation; scanning and transmission microscopy; profilometry; microdurometry
