Ball swage or ballising

Ball swage or ballising

Ball swage or ballising

(OP)
Has anyone any info on the manufacturing process of ball swaging or ballising (possibly ballizing for the US!).

I'm intersted to learn of formulas and theory to the subject.

I want to utilise a ball swage process to control the transmission of loads through an assembly.  i.e. to have a constant load slide if it reaches a certain value.

I think in my application ball swaging would work but am struggling to find info on it.

Thanks

MechPhil.

RE: Ball swage or ballising

The use of a ball to size parts is similar to burnishing or cold forming in that you must exceed the yield strength of the material in order to resize it.
