Abstract
This paper shows the possibility of using the size effect of the specific grinding energy for a targeted surface layer work-hardening of metal parts. The research includes the combination of abrasive material removal and plastic deformation in a single grinding step. Therefore high specific energy values are needed and thermal effects counteracting the work-hardening have to be minimised. This can be achieved by low cutting speeds in combination with low depths of cut. The new approach results in an in-process work-hardening of the surface layer, which was found to lead to higher hardness, a compressive residual stress state, and higher wear resistance.
