Today, a variety of implants with different applications are used to replace or support a damaged biological structure, the most common of which are dental and orthopedic implants. Due to the widespread use of stainless steel 316 L in the manufacture of implants and the occurrence of cracks and residual stresses during the process of electrical discharge machining for the production of these products, the use of effective and economical polishing methods such as burnishing in It is effective in increasing the surface properties and compatibility of these products with living tissue. In this study, after performing the electrical discharge machining process on the surface of the sample and making the ball burnishing, the burnishing operations were performed by changing the input parameters and in accordance with the experiments designed using the mini tab software. Thus, the effect of variable burnishing force, feed speed and number of tool passes on surface roughness properties, micro-hardness and corrosion resistance of the final surface of the work piece were investigated. During the optimization of the response surface methodology, the optimal value for surface roughness, micro-hardness and surface corrosion rate of the samples were obtained, respectively, 0.108 μm, 435.34 Vickers and 2.18_*10⁵ respectively. Compared to the control sample, the surface roughness of the samples decreased by about 97% and the micro-hardness and corrosion resistance of the samples increased by about 2 and 11 times, respectively.
