This paper presents a comparison study of surface hardening by grinding versus machining. The technological, economical and ecological merits of machining hardening and grind-hardening process for steels are described. The mechanisms of machining hardening and grind-hardening of steels are investigated and compared. The phase transformation, plastic deformation and white layer generation are the principal factors contributing to the hardened surface layer by machining and grinding. The influences of the process parameters on the penetrated hardness are given for both grind-hardening and machining hardening operations. The future development trends of the grind-hardening and machining hardening are also presented.

The grind-hardening process integrates heat treatment processing into the production line, reduces the number of producing procedures, shortens machining period and lowers the cost. Meanwhile, grind-hardening machining doesn’t use cutting fluid. So the grind-hardening process is a green manufacturing method with an extending application in future. Grinding hardening is an effective method in machining SKD-11 hardened steel due to its good quenched property. In this paper, the grind-hardening characteristics of SKD-11 hardened steel are discussed, and the impacts on the hardened surface layer varying with the grinding parameters are also studied. Optimization of grinding parameters of SKD-11 hardened steel is conducted based on the study.

Ground white layer is caused primarily by grinding temperature induced phase transformation. So, it may form when grinding temperature exceeds the nominal phase transformation temperature. However, no attempt is made to investigate mechanical effect on formation of white layer. In this study, grinding temperature is measured by using thermocouple technique in grinding of AISI 52100 annealed steel. The specimens are investigated by using scanning electron microscope (SEM), energy disperse spectroscopy (EDS), micro hardness tester and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The microstructure and formation mechanism of white layer are analyzed. Ground whiter layer is confirmed to be composed of fine-grained cryptocrystalline martensite and retained austenite. High hardness of white layer is caused by transformation hardening through fine grain and high dislocation density due to severe deformation. White layer can form at temperatures below the nominal austenitization temperature of the material. Plastic deformation is also important in white layer formation during grinding process. High pressure on grinding surface exists under severe deformation. Phase temperature can be reduced due to high pressure; while crystal grain can be refined by plastic deformation. Oxidation and carburizing phenomenon exist during formation of white layer.

The influence of kinematic schemes of processing by local surface plastic deformation on the intensification of the stressed state of cylindrical surfaces of parts is considered. On the basis of the finite element method by computer simulation, a mathematical model of the hardening process was obtained to determine the stress state in the surface layer for different hardening schemes. Keywords: kinematic scheme of processing, deforming tool, orbital burnishing, intensification of the stress state, residual stresses, depth of plastic deformation.

Metastable austenitic steels offer the opportunity of a surface hardening during machining due to a deformation induced martensite formation, substituting downstream hardening-processes. To maintain the necessary low process and workpiece temperatures for a phase transformation from austenite to martensite, cryogenic cooling using CO2-snow was examined in this study. The influence of workpiece diameter, coolant flow rate as well as pre-cooling and pre-surface hardening on the obtainable phase content of martensite in the surface layer was investigated.

Grind-hardening machining is not only a complex process coupling mechanical, dynamical and thermal effects, but a process containing distinct changes of microstructure and properties of the workpiece grinded surface layer. Under the defined experimental conditions, an empirical formula was constituted to describe the relation between hardened layer depth and grinding parameter of grind-hardening layer, and the multi-parametric optimization was conducted. A commercial FEM software package was used to simulate the grind-hardening process. The distribution and variation characteristics of the temperature and microstructure in the grinded surface layer of workpiece were obtained and the forming mechanism of the grind-hardened layer is revealed.

Grind-hardening is a type of composite technology, which utilizes the dissipated heat in the grinding zone for hardening of the workpiece surface layer. The temperature of the workpiece surface, when heated by the grinding, is higher than the austenitizing temperature for short time, then it is lowered by quick cooling causing martensitic transformation to happen in the surface layer of the workpiece. The residual stress is formed by the thermal stress, phase transformation stress and mechanical stress in the grind-hardening layer. In this paper, the forming mechanism of the residual stress in grind-hardening technology is analyzed in theory; the residual stress field in the surface layer is calculated by the finite element, according to changes in the specific volume of the microstructure, the temperature field and the temperature history of the surface layer at different depths. The temperature field is achieved by computer simulation technology. The result of residual stress calculations indicates that the change tendency of the grind-hardening residual stress in the finite element analysis is consistent with the experiments.

Induction surface hardening creates very desirable residual stresses in the hardened surface layer. Residual stresses are always of a compressive nature and are usually present to the depth of the induction-hardened layer. By the appropriate selection of grinding wheel and grinding conditions and taking into account the physical and mechanical properties of the workpiece material very favourable compressive residual stresses in the hardened surface layer can be retained. How is it possible to assure a desirable surface and surface layer quality after induction hardening and fine grinding? Finding an answer to this question requires a very good knowledge of the process of grinding on the micro-level as well as knowledge of mechanical and heat effects acting on the layer of the workpiece including the type and condition of the grinding wheel. An allinclusive consideration of the numerous influences of the kind and condition of the tool on the changes on the surface and in the surface layer of the workpiece in the given machining conditions is described by the term “surface integrity”.

A finite element simulation of the distribution of the magnetic field and flux in locally magnetized steel objects subjected to surface hardening and having after hardening a three-layer structure: a hardened surface layer, a transition layer, an unstressed core; has been conducted. Magnetization of the tested object was conducted using a U-shaped electromagnet. As a result, pictures of the distribution of the magnetic field in the monitoring object were obtained. The values of induction depending on the depth of the hardened layer for a fixed transition layer at different points of space relative to the surface of the object of control are obtained.
