The present study has been carried out to establish the effect of burnishing parameters viz. feed rate, speed, force, ball diameter and lubricant on surface hardness, and wear resistance of HSLA dual-phase steel specimens. The result indicates that burnishing parameters have significant effect on the surface hardness and wear resistance.Article
