Thermomechanical treatment with roller burnishing of sprocket teeth

Soviet progress in thermomechanical treatment of metals

“…Numerous other examples can be cited where hi gh temperature roller burnishing was the source of deformation. These studies include the improvement of wear resistance of plain carbon steels for track parts(l88) and sprocket teeth (189). For the sprocket teeth there was an increase in wear resistance and strength of 28% and 30% respectively, along with mor e favorable f l ow l in es , compared to the standard quench and temper condition.…”
