The Use of Thermography in Preliminary Research on Temperature of Burnishing

Abstract

Abstract The paper presents the methodology and results of experimental works concerning temperature of burnishing process. The research was carried out during disk burnishing of external cylindrical surfaces on a universal lathe CDS 6250 BX-1000 with severe parameters. As workpiece material steel S235JR has been selected. For temperature measurements infrared thermography method was chosen. This technique has a lot of advantages, the main is that it is non-contact technique and therefore there is no disturbance of the temperature field. In presented research infrared camera E95 produced by FLIR® Systems Inc. was used. Test results indicates the slight influence of process parameters on burnishing temperature.
