The ball burnishing processes demonstrated a notable reduction of surface roughness, which in turn helps to reduce the formation of wear particles and is reflected in the significantly reduced wear rate. The torsional resistance in the range of micro‐motion (≈2 Nm) can be improved by implementing a ball burnishing process with augmented depth hardness.
