The article presents the experimental results of investigation of the pumps shaft surface made of stainless steel after burnishing process. The process of burnishing shafts proposed here aims at increasing the service durability of marine pump shafts of seawater installations, which should give economic benefits in comparison with traditional methods. Burnishing process enables the achievement of high smoothness of machined surface together with the surface layer hardening. This process has been performed in industrial experience on universal machine tools and on CNC machines but it is regarded as plastic tooling. Therefore, the final formation of dimensions and service properties with the use of burnishing constitutes a chipless and dustless treatment, which allows for ranking burnishing among ecological tooling methods. The properties of the surface layers determine the tribological properties of the shaft. The methods of scanning electron microscopy (SEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM) and nanoindentation (NI) were used. The morphology of the changed layers formed by plastic deforming of steel during burnishing treatment was investigated on micro- and nanolevel by SEM and AFM after 1, 2, 3 and 4 passed of burnishing tool. The values of microhardness and Young´s modulus were measured on the shaft cross section from the surface till the 50 – 300 μm depth. The presence of the soft changed layer on the hardened shaft surface after burnishing process determines the decrease of the coefficient of friction during exploitation.
