Burnishing and ductilizing steel

Influence of Deep Cold Rolling and Low Plasticity Burnishing on Surface Hardness and Surface Roughness of AISI 4140 Steel

Deep cold rolling (DCR) and low plasticity burnishing (LPB) process are cold working processes, which easily produce a smooth and work-hardened surface by plastic deformation of surface irregularities. The present study focuses on the surface roughness and surface hardness aspects of AISI 4140 work material, using fractional factorial design of experiments. The assessment of the surface integri...

Investigation of Sequential Cryogenic Hard Turning and Ball Burnishing Processes

K. Żak, W. Grzesik, M. Prażmowski, Opole University of Technology, Department of Manufacturing Engineering and Automation, Opole, Poland This paper presents a sequential machining process which incorporates CBN hard turning with cryogenic pre-cooling of the workpiece (CHT) and ball burnishing (BB). The main goal of this study was to select machining conditions enhancing the quality of parts mac...

Manufacturing Technology I Exercise 8 Hard Turning – Hard Roller Burnishing

Does cold burnishing gutta-percha create a better apical seal?

This study investigated the seal created by cold burnishing the gutta-percha exposed after apical root resection of endodontically treated teeth. Sixty single-rooted extracted human teeth with a single straight canal were divided into four experimental groups of 15 teeth each. In two of the experimental groups the canals were instrumented and obturated well with laterally condensed gutta-percha...
