Abstract

In this paper, ultrasonic surface rolling processing (USRP) is used to process GCr15 (AISI-52100), and a three-dimensional ultrasonic surface rolling processing simulation model is established by finite element method to analyze the influence mechanism of static pressure on residual stress. The design L9 orthogonal test studied the importance of USRP parameters on the surface roughness of GCr15 bearing steel. The influence mechanism of process parameters (feed, static pressure, and rotational speed) on the surface microhardness, microstructure, and wear resistance of GCr15 was also studied. The results show that when the process parameters 1400 N, 0.08, and 100 r/min (specimen A7) were selected for machining, the plastic deformation of the specimen was the most intense and the surface grains were refined, forming a grain refinement layer with a thickness of about 10 μm. The surface defects of the specimen are reduced, and the surface roughness is as low as 0.076 μm. The surface microhardness can reach up to 806.2 HV0.5. And the surface roughness, surface hardness, and residual stress increased by 12.56, 65.91, and 138.89%, respectively. After the USRP treatment, the coefficient of friction of the material is reduced, and the amount of wear is reduced by 30%. The wear mechanism also gradually changes from adhesive wear to abrasive wear.
