Gear Burnishing is a cold working surface finishing process in which the work gear is rolled in tight mesh with hardened and highly accurate smooth gears. When contact stress between gear teeth increases the yield point stress of the material, plastic deformation occurs that reduces surface irregularities improving surface finish and induces useful residual compressive stresses. Gear burnishing if carried out properly results in improvement in metallic surface properties such as surface finish, surface hardness, wear resistance, corrosion resistance and fatigue life. The involute spur gears of AISI 1018 and AISI 1020 are burnished by diamond gear burnishing tool for fixed values of cycle time and speed without coolant. The burnishing force is varied to investigate its impact on surface roughness and surface hardness of gears. The spur gear is rolled in mesh with hard diamond coated gear at 300 rpm for 30 seconds in clockwise direction and then for another 30 sec in anticlockwise direction on standard diamond gear burnishing machine. Considerable effect of burnishing force on surface finish and micro hardness of spur gear of is observed due to burnishing.
