A method for coating a cylinder wall of an internal combustion engine, in which the cylinder wall is roughened prior to coating, such that the cylinder wall is compressed prior to roughening by plastic deformation.

A method for machining a wall of a cylinder of an internal combustion engine, in which recesses in the wall are introduced by mechanical machining. The invention is characterized in that the wall is radiated with a medium under high pressure after the mechanical machining in order to introduce micro-recesses.

The invention relates to a roller burnishing tool (10) having a roller support (12), which projects in an advancement direction (V) and on which, in a circumferential direction, at least one burnishing roller (14) for machining a workpiece surface is provided such that it can rotate about a roller axis (A), wherein the at least one burnishing roller (14) has a contact surface for coming into contact with the workpiece. According to the invention, the at least one burnishing roller (14) has a basic cylindrical shape and the at least one burnishing roller (14) is mounted such that it can be moved in a radial direction (R).

A method for welding a first powder metallurgical (PM) part to a second powder metallurgical (PM) part includes: working a first face of the first PM part; working a first face of the second PM part; and friction welding the first face of the first part to the first face of the second part.

The present invention relates to a method and system for treatment of a surface of a metallic material component, the method comprising the steps: electro-spark treating the surface of the metallic component by means of an electro-spark electrode, wherein the metallic material is a basically ferritic, perlitic and/or austenitic steel and the method creates a thin layer with martensitic microstructures at the surface of the metallic material component. Serpentines and quartz can be incorporated by an additional step as well as the surface randomly structured by this.

A burnishing tool and a method of additively manufacturing components of the burnishing tool are provided. The burnishing tool includes a burnishing element for burnishing a workpiece. The burnishing element is positioned between an upper nozzle and a lower nozzle which are additively manufactured to define a plurality of internal fluid passageways for receiving, distributing, and discharging a burnishing fluid to facilitate cooling and/or lubrication of the burnishing element and/or the workpiece.

A repaired oxidation and corrosion resistant coating may comprise a repair material applied to a damaged portion of the oxidation and corrosion resistant coating. The repair material may be free of hexavalent chromium and may be compatible with a plurality of oxidation and corrosion resistant materials that comprise hexavalent chromium. The repair material may be burnished. The oxidation and corrosion resistant coating may comprise hexavalent chromium.

The invention relates to a pneumatic needling device for the local surface treatment, more particularly fastening, of components, comprising a first and a second needle (2) that can move in a needle direction; a first and a second piston chamber (3) for applying pneumatic pressure to the first and second needles in the needle direction; a pressure supply (1) that can be connected to and disconnected from the piston chambers, more particularly as a result of a movement of the needles in the needling device; a pressure recording means (5) for measuring pressure fluctuations in the piston chambers; and a control means (6) designed to carry out a reaction on the basis of the measured pressure fluctuations.
