Design of part machining with ball-and-rod reinforcer

The design of the shock-vibrating finish machining with a ball-and-rod reinforcer (BRR) is considered. The essence of the method and the tool design are described. The effective application domains for the ball-and-rod reinforcer are offered. It is important to note that such processing can be used under the local hardening of the individual part segments. The theoretical research of the interaction of a single rod and a workpiece surface under the striker impact is resulted. Dependences to calculate the altitude parameters of the machined surface roughness, the work-hardened layer depth, and the inelastic deformation ratio are offered for various machining conditions and process material specifications. The suggested theoretical dependences have passed the experimental check. The calculation technique for the main process variables of the workpart procedure with the ball-and-rod reinforcer can be based on this data.
