In present era of globalization for every industry, surface quality of machined components is of utmost importance. The product functionality and reliability depends on the surface quality. Whatever may be the manufacturing process used, it is impossible to produce perfectly smooth surface. The imperfections and irregularities are bond to occur in some form of peaks and valleys on the machined components. In burnishing, a hard and highly polished ball or roller is used to flatten this rough peaks into the valleys by plastic deformation. Burnishing is a very simple, effective and chip less manufacturing method. Quality of the burnished components greatly depends upon the various burnishing parameters which includes speed, feed, depth of cut, No. of tool passes, burnishing force etc. This paper presents the reviews of different works in the area of burnishing and effect of various burnishing parameters on the surface characteristics like surface roughness, hardness, microstructure properties, fatigue strength, corrosion resistance, wear resistance, etc.
