Grind-hardening of steel surfaces: a focused review
by L.C. Zhang
International Journal of Abrasive Technology (IJAT), Vol. 1, No. 1, 2007

Abstract: Surface hardening of steel components using grinding-induced heat seems to be a cost-effective technique for production. This paper provides a review focusing on the research effort on grind-hardening in the author's Laboratory for Precision and Nano-processing Technologies. The discussion includes the mechanisms of heating and cooling, microstructural changes in workpiece materials, surface integrity generation and wear and fatigue behaviour of ground components.
