  abstract     = {{Burnishing has shown potential to improve the corrosion, fatigue and wear resistance of stainless steels. In this study, the surface integrity induced by burnishing in AISI 316Ti was characterized using a multi-technique approach based on Electron Channeling Contrast Imaging (ECCI), Electron Backscatter Diffraction (EBSD) and nanoindentation. Slide burnishing with a diamond tool was carried out under forces ranging from 100 to 300 N, generating an N4-quality surface finish. A burnishing force of 100 N did not significantly affect near-surface hardness compared to the machined (finish-turned) surface whereas it substantially increased the depth of the work-hardened layer, from 40 µm in the machined condition to 150 µm, suggesting substantial subsurface deformation. A maximum hardness of 5.0 ± 0.1 GPa was observed at both 225 and 300 N, indicating work hardening saturation corresponding to a degree of work hardening of 51.5%. At the highest force, 300 N, more severe grain strain and a deeper strain-affected zone were observed. The near-surface generated by burnishing consists of a thin mechanically induced fine-grained layer followed by a region of swept grains. Twinning was identified as the primary mechanism of plastic deformation. No evidence of phase transformation was detected. Electrochemical tests in 3.5 wt.% NaCl indicated that burnishing at 300 N maintains pitting resistance and slightly improves corrosion behavior compared to the machined surface.}},
