The invention relates to a hammering device (10) for influencing the subsurfaces of workpieces (14) comprising a beating tool (16) for acting on the workpiece (14), a beating mechanism (18) which has a beater (20) for producing a beating pulse on the beating tool (16), and a drive (32) for driving the beating mechanism (18), wherein the beating mechanism (18) has at least a second beater (20) for producing a beating pulse on the beating tool (16). According to the invention, it is intended for the beating mechanism (18) to comprise a drive shaft (30) that extends along a drive axis (A) and a wobble ring (28) for transforming a rotational movement of the drive shaft (30) into a translational movement, and the first beater (20.1) and the second beater (20.2) to be driven by the wobble ring (28).

A metal sheet bent portion fatigue crack growth suppressing method suppresses a growth of a fatigue crack generated in a bent portion formed by bending a metal sheet, and includes applying a plastic strain at least in a range from a bending start point to a bending end point on a bend inner side of the bent portion in a direction orthogonal to a valley line direction of the bent portion at an interval equal to or larger than a sheet thickness of the metal sheet in the valley line direction so as to generate a compressive residual stress.

A micro-nano incremental mechanical surface treatment method, comprising the following steps: using a modification tool having a designable end to contact a surface of a substrate material, rotating the modification tool in a local region and compressing the material surface, presetting processing parameters by means of 3D modeling software, and after the tool has processed the entire surface, enabling the tool to move downwards to the indented surface compressed previously. The process continues until the surface material is compressed to a pre-defined thickness, thereby achieving the goals of grain refinement and surface performance improvement. By means of the present method, a workpiece having a complex shape can be flexibly and designably surface modified. The method has the advantages of high bonding strength, no pollution, and low cost.

A hammer assembly for a power tool. The hammer assembly provides a first, proximal engagement portion couplable directly to a backside of the power. A second, distal engagement portion is directly connected to the first engagement portion. A head portion is directly connected to the second engagement portion. The second engagement portion provides one or more chambers, each chamber housing a spring for storing energy imparted by compressive forces against the head portion. Each spring directly interconnecting the first and second engagement portions through an open side of the chamber facing the first engagement portion. There is a gap between the first and second engagement portions, between their respective distal and proximal surface, which is spanned by the spring, enabling the latter to deflect before said surfaces contact under compressive loading.
