Investigation of local alloying for SS400 surface by using burnishing process

Abstract

The mechanical and electrical properties of metallic materials change depending on the crystal structure. In this study, we investigate local alloying method using burnishing process. The process is carried out at 400 °C, then, EDX analysis is used to investigate whether tool elements diffuse into the specimen. As a result, Ni element is detected on the processed surface under the condition of 2.2 kN.
