The mechanical and electrical properties of metallic materials are significantly influenced by their internal crystal structure. In recent years, the development of high-performance and high-functionality metallic materials has been progressing, and in some cases, partial alloying has been applied. However, such alloying is not localized or selective. Our aim is to achieve localized and selective surface modification through alloying induced by high-temperature burnishing. In this high-temperature burnishing experiment, SPCC was used as the base material, and a nickel rod was used as roller. Temperature and load were set as the main parameters. Based on the results of the Vickers hardness test and elemental mapping, it was suggested that alloying may have occurred under specific conditions.
