We’ve got BIG News! As of Jan. 1, 2024, all support for Elliott Tools will transition to Elliott. This includes sales and service support for all metal finishing, burnishing, recessing and mechanical joining tools previously sold by Monaghan. This will open the door for us to focus in on our goal of being your “cutting tool expert”. 

BURNISHING

BURNISHING TOOLS MANUFACTURED BY ELLIOTT TOOL TECHNOLOGIES

Burnishing is the best way to improve a surface finish, enhance part quality, and eliminate costly finishing operations. Eliminate secondary operations, improve surface finish, and save time and money with Elliott burnishing tools.

Our team has worked with thousands of different applications. If you have a question or are wondering if your application is a good fit for burnishing or roller burnishing, contact us here.

HOW BURNISHING WORKS

WHAT IS BURNISHING?

Burnishing is a chipless machining method which cold works the metal without cutting or abrading the surface.

It removes no metal but rather compresses, or “irons-out” the peaks of a metal surface into the valleys, generating a dense and uniform surface.

Roller burnishing improves surface finish and results in dimensional accuracy.

COMPRESSIVE FORCES

The cold working condenses the grain structure of metal, producing an increase in surface hardness from 50% to 100%, within a penetration of .010” to .030” on the part’s surface.

In roller burnishing, the material is elastically deformed to a given depth below the surface. The result is compressive stresses at the surface. In turn, this increases the resistance of the material to fatigue failure because any external forces must first overcome these residual stresses.
