Analysis of the application of sic ceramics as a tool material in the slide burnishing process

The paper presents results obtained by SiC ceramic implementation for slide burnishing. Analyzes of the effect of the burnishing force and feed on selected surface texture parameters were conducted. The influence of technological parameters was assessed according to the analysis of variance. The burnishing force and feed affected most of the examined surface texture parameters in the analyzed ranges. Optimal values were found for the technological parameters. In most cases, the minimum of height parameters were achieved for 80 N of burnishing force and 0,063 mm/rev of feed. Limitations in the increase in the burnishing force were also found.
