Finite Element Analysis of Surface Integrity in Deep Ball-Burnishing of a Biodegradable AZ31B Mg Alloy

As an effective and affordable technique, deep ball-burnishing has been applied to induce the plastic deformation of material, thus resulting in an increased surface hardness, compressive residual stress, and finish quality. Recent research shows that the fast degradation of an Mg alloy implant is a...
