Surface finish is a critical factor in creating a durable metal component. Manufacturers strive to produce metal surfaces free of scratches, nicks and gouges, since such defects make components vulnerable to damaging cracks. A smooth surface alone is insufficient, how ever, to protect the component against the wear and tear of regular usage. Machining process such as milling & turning produce a surface with inherent irregularities. Finishing process such as grinding, lapping, honing, polishing & buffing commonly seeing employed to improve the surface finish.
Steel in the form of bars, cables, tendons etc. as a reinforcing material in cement concrete is extremely popular and widely accepted construction material all over the world. One of the major drawback with it, is it's vulnerability to the environmental attacks and subsequent electro chemical destruction leading to corrosion which in turn reduces strength and serviceability of concrete structures. Engineers and scientists are in constant search of an alternative material which will be corrosion resistant, withstand extreme environmental conditions, light weight, stronger and fatigue resistant, easy to handle as compared to steel. In this project we will analyze the surface finish and surface hardness of Composite material, E-Glass Epoxy, by external roller burnishing process under different speeds, passes and depth of cuts.
