Profile: Ball Burnishing Machine Tools Ltd. is a surface treatment solution provider. We specialize in mechanically treating surfaces in the presence of chemicals for engineering purposes. Our chemical-mechanical surface treatments either raise or lower friction, improve or inhibit adhesion, and raise or lower surface energy and reactivity. Our Trib-joins are made with Trib-ToolsT, which release trace amounts of friction enhancing chemical onto a surface as they gently abrade the surface. This treatment typically quadruples the retention strength of a dowel pin. Trib-joins tend to gain strength over time due to natural diffusion, whereas adhesives tend to lose strength. We also cover subjects like building thin wall tube structures, composite crank shafts, attaching gears to shafts, light weight built-up beam, ideas for light weight drive shafts, balance shafts, making light weight cylinders for automobile drum brakes, fusion roller assembly for copying machines, releasable heavy duty enhanced friction couplings, improved oil injection procedure for bearing retention, and expandable tubular joins.
