The description of the areal texture of the surface is more comprehensive than that of roughness profiles. Ball burnishing led to an improvement in surface quality. In this work, the changes in areal surface textures due to ball burnishing were studi...
This paper investigates the effect of plasticity ball burnishing on characteristics of surface integrity, residual stress and hardness of laser direct energy deposited (DEDed) Stellite 21 alloys, with a focus on the burnishing directional effect on s...
Ball-burnishing is presented herein as a mechanical surface treatment for improving mechanical properties after the friction stir welding process. Ball-burnishing provides good surface finish, high compressive residual stresses, and a hardness increa...
Additive manufacturing technologies are increasingly being used in production systems because they shorten product development time and production cost, but surface integrity remains a limitation to meet the standards set by conventional manufacturin...
Austenitic stainless steel gears were fabricated via the fine blanking process that can be used for mass production. A carbon-supersaturated (CS)-matrix high-speed steel punch was prepared to minimize the adhesive and abrasive wear damage. Its edge p...
This paper presents the micromanufacturing of aluminum (Al) alloy microrods using micro turning as a competing process to other nontraditional micromachining methods. In that regard, the challenges in such manufacturing have been identified and overc...
Processes of surface texture characterisation can be roughly divided into measurement issues and analysis of the results obtained. Both actions can be fraught with various errors, some of which can be analysed with frequency performance. In this pape...
