The method comprises the steps of heating the at least one part of the metal component to form at least one softened region, and applying a mechanical load to the at least one softened region to plastically deform the metal in the at least one softened region.

An inner surface finishing tool enables machining of a workpiece made of a material machinable with a relatively large burnishing amount while reducing deformation at the opening of the workpiece or deterioration of its geometrical tolerance during machining of the inner peripheral surface. The tool includes a mandrel rotatable relative to the workpiece and includes a polygonal member, and a frame that is cylindrical and fitted onto the mandrel in a rotatable manner and has an axis extending in an axial direction of the mandrel and holds a plurality of first rollers and a plurality of second rollers rollable on an outer peripheral surface of the mandrel. The polygonal member rotates the plurality of second rollers to move inward and outward in a radial direction of the frame.

There is provided a method for processing a raceway groove configured to circumferentially form a to-be-processed side raceway groove on a surface to be processed of a workpiece, the to-be-processed side raceway groove is configured to be brought into rolling contact with a rolling element, and the surface to be processed is a cylindrical circumferential surface. The method for processing a raceway groove includes: arranging a processing rolling element rotatably between the to-be-processed side raceway groove and a tool side circumferential surface which is opposed to the surface to be processed and which is a cylindrical circumferential surface of a machining tool; rotating the machining tool relatively with respect to the workpiece; and performing a burnishing process on the to-be-processed side raceway groove.

An ultrasonic machining method to improve the wear resistance of locomotive wheels includes ultrasonic machining by ultrasonic machining tool head on the wheel rim and/or surface of the tread that is rotated along the main axis. The ultrasonic machining method mentioned in the invention can not only process the locomotive wheel just after leaving factory, but also repair the worn locomotive wheel. After machining the rim and/or tread of the locomotive wheel with ultrasonic machining, the surface tensile stress of the rim and/or the tread surface will become compressive stress, the surface roughness will be greatly reduced, and the ideal compressive stress will be preset on the surface.
