 Skive and Roller Burnishing

Skive and Roller Burnishing is the process of finishing the ID of a tube to a cylinder quality size and finish by means of carbide inserts and rollers.  The Skive and Roller Burnishing are two separate operations that employ the same tool.

Skiving in itself is a process used to remove stock where close tolerances and roundness are required. Skiving produces a surface finish of approximately 60 to 125 micro-inches CLA. The depth of cut can range from as little as 0.002 inch per side and as much as 0.040 inch per side depending on the size of the tool. Skiving also produces optimal peak and valley patterns for subsequent roller burnishing.
 
Roller Burnishing can follow the Skive operation.  This operation employs rollers which causes material to flow from the "peaks" into the "valleys". The burnishing process produces a more condensed and refined surface finish which reduces seal friction and surface porosity.

Commercial Fluid Power can Skive or Skive and Roller Burnish lengths to 24 feet.  Interior diameters can be skived and rolled as small as 1.500" and as large as 12.000".  Call your nearest CFP location for more information.
