The aim was to study the effects of technological residual stresses on the bending stiffness of cylindrical parts of shafts and axes. Experiments were conducted for elongated cylindrical specimens made of steel grade 35 with a diameter of 30 mm using boring and turning methods. Specimens were annealed in a protective medium to remove initial residual stresses. Experiments were carried out using an Amsler laboratory hydraulic testing machine and VK8 grade hard-alloy matrices. The experiments showed that, for an extremely low degree of relative crimping of 0.1 to 0.5%, the size of the layer with tangential residual compression stresses gradually decreases. The stiffness of such cylindrical workpieces remains almost unchanged. An increase in relative crimping (from 0.5 to 1.2%) leads to a decrease in resi dual compression stresses on the part surface. The layer thickness with tangential residual compression stresses starts to increase. This leads to a decreased residual buckling and an increased bending stiffness. It was found that the degree of relative crimping has no effect on the variation of distribution depth of axial residual stresses. Optimal distribution of tangential residual compression stresses can be reached by increasing their depth. A linear relationship was found for relative crimping of 0.1 to 1.0%. The highest bending resistance was recorded for specimens strengthened by residual crimping of about 1.0%. By processing workpieces using enveloping deformation with crimping of 0.1% and loading them with a transverse force of 0.6 kN, bending distortion can be decreased and the strength of parts can be increased by 5 times. It was found that the bending stiffness of cylindrical shafts is greatly affected by residual compression stresses. The bedding depth of residual stresses has various effects on the stiffness of cylindrical parts. Thus, correct use of strengthening enveloping deformation can form a high-quality surface layer on parts with the pre-defined distribution of residual stresses.

The article presents the results of modeling the process of finishing and hardening cylindrical parts by orbital burnishing. A finite element model of orbital burnishing has been developed using SolidWorks software. The model allows determining some geometric characteristics of a plastic contact patch and a plastic indent, during orbital burnishing depending on the parameters of the working tool. The obtained results show that the most significant influence on the size and area of the plastic indent during orbital burnishing is exerted by the angle of inclination of the working tool and the radius of the orbital rotation, the effect of the working tool radius is less significant. With an increase in the angle of inclination of the working tool from 0 to 60°, its radius from 3 to 11 mm, and the radius of orbital rotation from 2 to 6 mm, the length of the indent increases by 1.3–3.6 times, the width – by 1.1–3.0 times, and the area of the hole by 3.7–10.3 times.

Cold-drawn metal has a number of undeniable advantages over the hot-rolled one. Increased hardness, high surface quality, stability of the diametrical dimension along the length of the workpiece are the basis for choosing calibrated metal as effective workpieces for the manufacture of long parts such as shafts, axles, and rods. In some cases, such workpieces require a small amount of machining, for example, threading or making necks at the ends of a bar. The wider use of the calibrated metal is hindered by residual stresses that are formed during its manufacture. In the first part of this article, it was proposed to use small plastic deformations to control residual stresses. By the example of a new process of surface plastic deformation, which is called orbital burnishing, the working and residual stresses in cylindrical workpieces are determined. In the second part of the article, the process of enveloping surface plastic deformation is considered, which, at high productivity, makes it possible to reduce the residual tensile stresses in the calibrated metal or form the surface layers of the workpiece compressive stress. A technique for the experimental determination of residual stresses in the volume of a body is based on layer-by-layer removal of the inner and outer layers of cylindrical samples. Influence of the main parameters of the enveloping deformation process on the components of the residual stress tensor is established. A range of relative compressions (0.1 – 1.0 %) is revealed, at which residual compressive stresses are formed in the surface layers of the workpiece. It was found that at a relative compression of 0.5 %, the maximum residual compression stresses are created. Enveloping surface deformation has a positive effect on the residual stress state and on colddrawn metal – the residual tensile stresses can be reduced, removed or converted into compressive ones.
