A circular milling tool for producing a microgroove structure in a cylindrical surface of a bore, the microgroove structure having a groove profile defined by plural microgrooves axially spaced apart and peripherally extend in a circular manner, comprising: a tool base body drivable around an axis of rotation, which carries a circumferential cutter set with first and second circumferential cutters, which are arranged in a row in the circumferential direction, the first circumferential cutter and second circumferential cutter each have a cutting profile that differs from the groove profile of the microgroove structure to be produced, and the circumferentially projected cutting profiles of the circumferential cutters of the circumferential cutter set overlap each other in an axial direction to an extent that they jointly image the defined groove profile of the microgroove structure to be generated. Also, a method for producing a microgroove structure in a bore.

A method includes positioning a cylindrical tool having one or more rows of blades within a cylindrical bore having a surface, forming annular grooves and peaks into the surface with the grooving blades when the swaging blades are in the retracted position, and translating the swaging blades from the retracted position to the extended position to deform the peaks. The one or more rows of blades includes fixed grooving blades and translatable swaging blades having retracted and extended positions.

A surface roughening tool includes a cylindrical body and at least one grooving blade outwardly radially projecting from the body and configured to form grooves and peaks into a surface. The surface roughening tool also includes at least one swaging blade outwardly radially projecting from the body and configured to deform the peaks. The at least one swaging blade is aligned with the at least one grooving blade along a circumference of the body.

A roughening tool for roughening the cylindrical surface of a bore in a particular metallic workpiece, e.g. the piston running surface of a cylinder bore or cylinder liner in an internal combustion engine, by generating a defined microstructure of a plurality of circumferentially spaced apart circumferential microgrooves.
