Hybrid techniques for surface treatment should ensure compliance with exterior layer state and stress requirements. The more factors which influence final treatment effects, the more difficult it is to conduct a technological process combining different treatment methods. A combination of shaping milling with finishing burnishing can provide very good smoothness and satisfactory stress conditions. However, implementation of predefined geometric surface specifications (GPS) is very difficult. This article presents the results of the effect of technological parameters of both treatments combined into a single operation on surface topography. A new surface geometry evaluation approach, combining both relative and absolute changes of isotropy and surface roughness, enabling an objective efficiency comparison of machining operations combined in a single operation, is presented.

Problems on the world market, related to delays in supply chains, have forced enterprises to adopt a more flexible approach in the production processes of the offered products. In order to meet customer needs, companies can often look for alternative supply chains, as well as take over the...

In the era of Industry 4.0, the digitization of production processes is one of the important elements contributing to the reduction of uncertainty related to the implementation of new production methods. The worldwide epidemic situation and its constraints have resulted in supply chain continuity...
