Material displacement of roller burnish

I have a high tensile austenitic stainless steel materia; can I do roller burnish for 2.874" Dia. bore to a 32 RMS finish, 0.001" - 0.002" diametrical material displacement?

Short answer is yes. Almost any media can achieve that result; therefore, I'm not sure why you want to burnish part?
