Preface
Grinding is one of the most important processes in the manufacturing d iscipline. One of the key goals for successful grinding is controlling the heat transfer in order to ensure that the workpiece material does not undergo any metallurgical changes. However, this problem can also be considered as an opportunity. By controlling the amount of heat that is conducted in the workpiece material, it can result in its surface heat treatment. Grind-hardening process thus is a novel, nonconventional, machining process that can be used for the simultaneous surface hardening and grinding of metallic components. Grind-hardening process can potentially substitute conventional heat treatment methods by integrating this process in the grinding phase. The key benefit of doing so is the elimination of the need for transportation of the work in progress and the minimization of additional set-ups. The process can be used for selective surface hardening of cylindrical and flat components such as shafts, rail-guide
