Choosing the Right Tool for the Job: OD Carbide Roll vs. OD Multi-Roll Burnishing

2025-08-07T13:01:06-05:00

When it comes to achieving a smooth, work-hardened finish on the exterior of a part, manufacturers have several tooling options. Two prominent choices are the OD carbide roll burnishing tool and the OD multi-roll tool, each with distinct advantages and ideal applications. Understanding these differences is key to optimizing your process for efficiency, precision, and cost-effectiveness.

The Impact of Burnishing Exotic Materials: Special Considerations for Optimal Results

2025-08-07T13:02:30-05:00

Burnishing stands as a highly effective finishing method for a wide range of ductile materials, enhancing surface finish, hardness, and fatigue life. However, the inherent properties of the workpiece material play a significant role in the burnishing outcome. When venturing into the realm of exotic materials, particularly those prevalent in demanding sectors like medical devices, aerospace, and specialized industries, specific considerations become paramount. Titanium, specialized Stainless Steels, and Inconel are among the most commonly encountered exotic alloys, each presenting unique challenges and opportunities for the burnishing process.

Precision In Practice: When To Roll To Torque Vs. Size In Mechanical Joining

2025-08-07T13:02:54-05:00

Mechanical joining is a fundamental manufacturing process used to create a tight seal between tubular products and their corresponding a fittings or flanges. This method relies on compressing the tube’s outer diameter against a fixed container, forming a secure and leak-tight seal. A key decision in this process revolves around whether to roll to size or roll to torque, each of which offers advantages in certain applications.

Mechanical Joining: The Heat-Free Advantage in Aerospace

2025-08-07T13:03:26-05:00

In the demanding world of aerospace, where precision and reliability are key, the method of mechanical joining stands out as an essential technique. Unlike traditional heat-based joining processes such as welding or brazing, mechanical joining in aircraft systems involves the plastic deformation—specifically, the expansion—of a tube end into a fitting or sleeve. This innovative approach creates a robust, leak-proof joint without the need for elevated temperatures, offering a multitude of benefits crucial to the stringent requirements of aircraft design and operation.

Conquering the Depths: Elliott’s IRU Solutions for Deep Hole Manufacturing Challenges

2025-05-06T12:16:29-05:00

In precision manufacturing, the creation of deep holes – those where the depth-to-diameter ratio typically exceeds 10:1 – presents a unique set of challenges. Maintaining accuracy, achieving desired surface finishes, and ensuring efficient chip evacuation become significantly more complex as the bore deepens. Traditional machining methods often struggle in these scenarios, leading to increased cycle times, higher scrap rates, and compromised part quality. However, specialized tooling like Elliott's Internal Recessing Unit (IRU) offers innovative solutions to overcome these hurdles.

Internal Recessing Unit (IRU) Challenges and Best Practices

2025-05-06T12:09:57-05:00

Internal Recessing Units (IRUs) are specialized tools used when multiple grooves need to be machined into the same bore. Unlike single-point tools like boring bars, IRUs offer advantages in terms of speed and consistency. A single point tool can take a long time and be less consistent in diameter and position of the lands/grooves due to deflection and push off. Also, if the tool breaks, it leaves a partially finished part that needs to be scrapped.
