In the research we provide a brief overview of the context of the topic, starting from the issues of energy efficiency and environmental awareness and sustainable development, through the positive properties of alternative forms of processing such as diamond burnishing, to the examination of the surface finish, which plays a key role in the relationship between surface quality and diamond burnishing. In the first chapter of this paper, the science of sustainable development, industrial ecology and its different systems models are presented, leading to the three pillars of sustainable development. In the same chapter, we touch on the relationship between energy- and eco-efficiency, their characteristics, recent research results and impacts. We present the dimensions and material quality of the test piece on which the tests were carried out. This will be followed by a description of the technological characteristics of the turning and diamond-burnishing processes. The characteristics and usefulness of the Abbott-Firestone curve are listed, and the improvement factors and K-coefficients are calculated. In the third section, experimental results are presented by examining the data of the Abbott-Firestone surface curves, which are presented using both the improvement factors and the K-coefficients to draw conclusions by examining the different technological parameters. We conclude our study by summarizing the results of our research.

The relation between the technological parameters of cutting and the tool life is important information that has been described by several functions since the publication of the Taylor formula. Although the vc-T cutting speed-tool life...
