Abstract: Burnishing, being cold working, chip less post-machining, finishing process, uses a soft and hard ball or roller to deform peaks onto the valleys plastically. In current work, an attempt has been made to make use of abrasive particles in between roller burnishing tool and workpiece, to study its effect on surface properties such as surface roughness and microhardness. The experimental results of AAB (abrasives assisted burnishing) compared with dry burnishing process results to find the effectiveness of the abrasive particles. Results showed that both the cases increased hardness and surface roughness for both the materials.
