Pfeiffer, W.W.Pfeiffer2022-03-082022-03-082002https://publica.fraunhofer.de/handle/publica/305331The method comprises bringing the workpiece surface within narrowly bounded regions into contact with a tool which plastically deforms such surface regions and produces compressive near-surface stresses within the workpiece. USE - Used in bearing technology. ADVANTAGE - The method is simple and cost-effective method, and can be used to the strength of ceramic components such as, for example, bearing bushes in pumps, stirring units etc..de608531620Verfahren zur Steigerung der Randschichtfestigkeit an Oberflaechen von aus sproedharten Werkstoffen gefertigten WerkstueckenMethod for increasing boundary layer strength on surfaces of workpieces used in bearing technology - comprises bringing workpiece surface within narrowly bounded regions into contact with tool which plastically deforms such surface regions and produces compressive near-surface stresses within workpiece.patent1996-19652872
