  • Work roller for use in deep rolling process of crankshafts or like products
    Patent number: 6159135
    Abstract: A process for manufacturing an upper work roller for use in the deep rolling of crankshafts includes the steps of: rough sawing tool steel to form a generally cylindrical wafer, heat treating the wafer to provide it with a desired hardness, grinding of the wafer to desired dimensions to form a properly dimensioned heat treated blank wafer, a second grinding of the wafer to form a finished shape of work roller, and vibratory finishing the roller to achieve a desired microfinish thereon.
