The aim of this work is to study the influence of selected deep rolling parameters (rolling pressure and number of passes) on the surface integrity of fully annealed AISI 1060 high carbon steel. In addition to the mechanical properties, a comprehensive investigation on surface integrity is carried out. The findings indicate that despite the increase in surface hardness and ultimate tensile stress, deep rolling can negatively affect the yield strength. The amplitude and functional roughness parameters show a considerable reduction after deep rolling, however, increasing rolling pressure and number of passes leads to poorer surface finish. Finally, the tensile residual stress generated by turning shifts to compressive values after deep rolling and the microhardness and microstructure analyses indicate that the depth of the layer affected by deep rolling depends on both the rolling pressure and number of passes.
