ABSTRACT:
A portion of a hole drilled through various layers of structural material may be cold worked by forcing a mandrel through a sleeve lining the hole. In order to precisely fix the projection of the sleeve within the hole of one layer, the thickness is first determined by ultrasonic measurement. Then, a micrometer assembly is employed to project the sleeve outwardly from a tool nose piece by the dimension prceisely equal to the ultrasonically measured thickness. The present tool enables cold working of a hole within only one layer of material while avoiding disturbance of the hole continuation in other layers.
