  • ABSTRACT: CuAl8Fe3 aluminum bronze possesses good strength, wear resistance and corrosion resistance, including in salt water. The presence of iron leads to grain refinement, which gives extra strength to this alloy. Thus, this bronze is the preferred construction material for various applications, including marine. As this bronze is not subjected to heat treatment due to the lower aluminum content, surface integrity (SI) is improved by cold work. The article deals with diamond burnishing (DB) of CuAl8Fe3 bronze. The object of study is the surface topography (ST). Usually not all ST parameters are used in practice. The parameter is one of the most used in the production process and in the process of quality control due to its easy measurement. However, this parameter is not sufficient to describe the features of the surface texture, on which the performance properties of the respective component largely depend. The article examines the effect of DB on eight ST parameters - six height and two shape parameters. Based on the obtained results, the behavior of the respective component is predicted from the point of view of wear resistanceaR
