Abstract
This article presents the outcomes of finite element (FE) simulations and X-ray stress measurements of residual stresses in high-strength 2024-T3 Al alloy introduced via the single toroidal roller burnishing (STRB) process. In terms of the deforming toroidal roller geometry, STRB is particularly suitable for deep rolling. A 3D FE model was developed using the flow stress concept, and the actual STRB kinematics was simulated to evaluate both hoop and axial residual stresses. The FE model was validated through a comparison of FE and X-ray residual stress distributions. The effects of the burnishing force, feed rate, and number of passes on the residual hoop and axial stresses were studied. It was established that increasing the feed rate leads to a decrease in the residual hoop stresses and an increase in the residual axial stresses. The greater burnishing force increases the compressive zone depth and only slightly increases the surface residual stresses. The FE and X-ray stress analyses confirm the effectiveness of STRB of 2024-T3 Al alloy to introduce significant residual compressive axial and hoop stresses.
