Method of improving the surface condition of a cylinder

Abstract

Abstract Translated from French Pour améliorer l'état de surface d'un cylindre, on traite la surface dudit cylindre au moyen d'un faisceau corpusculaire polarisé que l'on focalise de façon à former des micro- perforations dans ladite surface. Le cylindre et le faisceau sont en mouvement l'un par rapport à l'autre, ce qui entraîne une déformation des microperforations, et le faisceau est polarisé selon un plan sensiblement perpendiculaire à la direction du mouvement responsable de la déformation des microperforations. To improve the surface condition of a cylinder, the surface of said cylinder is treated by means of a polarized corpuscular beam which is focused so as to form micro-perforations in said surface. The cylinder and the beam are in motion relative to each other, which results in a deformation of the microperforations, and the beam is polarized in a plane substantially perpendicular to the direction of the movement responsible for the deformation of the microperforations. On améliore ainsi l'isotropie de la rugosité contrôlée de la surface. This improves the isotropy of the controlled roughness of the surface.
