# The characteristics of the surface structure obtained in a low plasticity burnishing process in which the jumping wave occurred

## TL;DR

This paper examines how a jumping wave during low plasticity burnishing affects surface structures and deformation.

## Contribution

The study identifies how jumping waves influence surface deformation and structure formation during burnishing.

## Key findings

- Jumping waves create additional surface structures like dales, seems, and laps.
- Increased burnishing force deepens surface dales due to higher material slippage.
- 3D profilograms and metallographic studies reveal changes in surface layer structure.

## Abstract

Jumping wave formation in front of the processing tools occurs during low plasticity burnishing methods. It significantly disturbs the plastic deformation of surface structures process. The wave causes also additional structures to appear on the processed surface such as additional dales, seems and laps. Furthermore, the rise of processing burnishing force causes significant increase the depth of the surface structure dales which are caused as a result of increase of the slippage rate of material layers in the jumping wave. The results are presented based on 3D profilograms and metallographic studies of the material structure in the surface layer.
