Burnishing increases surface hardness through the cold working process and compressive forces, and increases metal’s resistance to fatigue and failure at stress points. These benefits make the process ideal for sealing or bearing surfaces, various seats, areas that require pre-stressing, and tight diameter tolerances.
By adding Elliott Tool Technologies tools for burnishing ID, OD, ID/OD, and flat surfaces to its product lineup, Monaghan Tooling Group (Dayton, OH) has the capability to handle virtually any burnishing project. Because they produce a 4 Ra to 8 Ra surface finish in one pass, the tools eliminate the time and expense of performing secondary operations such as grinding, honing, and polishing.
Fast cycle times mean burnishing projects are measured in seconds, not minutes. Speed is coupled with accuracy, as ID burnishing tools produce accurate sizing in 0.0001-inch increments. Roller burnishing results in a 25% size improvement in steel and up to a 50% size improvement in high ductility materials.
In addition to custom tooling, the company offers standard tooling for ID multi-roller burnishing, OD carbide roll burnishing, ID/OD carbide roll burnishing, and diamond burnishing. All tooling styles are easy to operate and require limited training. They’re easy to maintain and repair, and common repair parts are available from a fully stocked inventory.
