What materials can be roller burnished?
-
All plastically formable metals can be roller-burnished. Here the material hardness should be below 45 HRC (Rockwell hardness) when using conventional roller burnishing tools. Diamond finishing tools permit the machining of considerably harder workpieces (< 60 HRC).
-
The rollability of a material is determined with the ductile yield; if the ductile yield is above 5 %, the rollability is generally given. The greater the ductile yield, the better the materials can be plastically formed.
-
Plastics can generally also be roller burnished, however show clear tendencies to return to their original shape, so that the effects of smoothing tend to be minor.
