Abstract

See full text

A mechanical surface treatment method for a workpiece includes using a multi-axis powered machine to actuate a deep rolling tool having a roller relative to the workpiece. The actuating includes applying the roller against a workpiece surface with a normal force sufficient to plastically deform the workpiece and translating the roller relative to the workpiece surface. The method includes concurrently applying an electrical current to the workpiece surface in a manner that produces an electroplastic effect at the workpiece surface and a near surface region. The electroplastic effect and the plastic deformation produce a refinement in a grain structure at the workpiece surface and near surface region and an increase in dislocation sources and tangles within the grain structure.
