Roller
Burnishing is a cold working process which produces a finer surface finish
by the planetary rotation of hardened rolls over a bored or turned metal
surface. Roller Burnishing involves cold working the surface of the work
piece to improve surface structure.
In the Burnishing process, the pressure generated by the rolls exceeds the yields point of the softer piece part surface at the point of contact, resulting a small plastic deformation of the surface structure of the piece part. Since all machined surface consists of a series of peaks and valleys of irregular height and spacing, the plastic deformation created by roller burnishing is a displacement of the material in the peaks which cold flows under pressure into the valleys. The result is a mirror like finish with a tough work hardened, wear and corrosion resistant surface.The roller burnishing pressure required depends on number of factors like ductility and tensile strength of the material, surface roughness before and after roller burnishing, diameter and shape of the rolls.
