The Burnishing Process of Two-phase Cast Steel in the Aspect of Reducing Roughness and Increase of Hardness

Abstract

The paper presents results of experimental studies of burnishing rolling – pressuring (BRP) cast steel grade GX2CrNiMoCuN25-6-3-3. Burnishing of the shafts neck is proposed using burnisher roller (BR–01). In experimental studies it has been stated that there is a surface layer increase in hardness, roughness reduction and the material ratio curve is convex shaped, which, taking into account the load capacity of the surface, will directly affect its resistance to wear and corrosion. After studies it was found that the hardness of the surface layer and the roughness of the shaft necks are significantly influenced by technological parameters of processing. To achieve the objectives of strengthen and smooth burnishing of cast steel duplex should be used: feed fn = 0.2 mm/rev and disk burnishing tool feed an = 1.0 mm, burnishing speed vn = 70 m/min and the passes i = 2.
