Roller burnishing

Roller burnishing is a metalworking process that is used to create an even and smooth surface on a workpiece. This technique is often used when processing metals such as steel, aluminum or copper in order to achieve a precise surface finish.

During the roller burnishing process, the workpiece is passed between two rollers. These rollers exert pressure on the material, smoothing out unevenness and surface defects. The type of rollers used, the pressure and the throughput speed have a significant influence on the resulting surface quality. This process is used in various industrial sectors. In the production of sheet metal, profiles or plates, for example, roller burnishing enables a uniform thickness and surface finish to be achieved. In addition, roller burnishing plays a decisive role in the production of precision components, in the construction industry and in the manufacture of vehicle bodies.

The advantages of roller burnishing lie not only in the improvement of the surface quality, but also in the adjustment of the material properties. For example, the strength and hardness of the material can be influenced by targeted deformation during the rolling process. The technology of roller burnishing is versatile and contributes to the production of high-quality metal products for various applications. In combination with other manufacturing processes, roller burnishing enables the production of workpieces with precise dimensions and an aesthetically pleasing surface.
