Description
In this investigation, profiled high interstitial austenitic stainless steel parts were burnished on a profile rolling machine and afterwards the wear behavior was analyzed in a
melt of glass-reinforced polypropylene. Wear and corrosion resistance are significant properties of steel parts in plastics and food industries. The high work hardening ability of the
stainless steel enables burnishing parts with significant local hardness increase. Wear tests on a developed test stand show a wear resistance of the burnished surface near to that of a nitrided surface. Hence, it is concluded that roller-burnished austenitic stainless steel parts are suitable for corrosive environments with medium wear protection requirements.
