Surface rolling is one of the micro plastic processes which yields local deformation of surface, and improves surface roughness, hardness and fatigue strength. With the use of gray cast iron (GC 30) as material for experiment, the changes in surface roughness were investigated. A number of previous theses were refered to the effects of surface rolling for this study. With the use of steel ball of excellent in surface roughness and hardness, and with the applied force 20Kgf, surface rolling was performed. The summary of the experiment is as follows: (1) With the fixed applied force 20Kgf and the ball of 8.726mm in diameter, surface roughness was found to be the most excellent. (2) Increase in hardness was most prominent in the first rolling, but less effective in the succeeding rolling. (3) Reduction on diameter was affected by the previous process before rolling, and about 70 to 90% of reduction was made in the first rolling.
