In the manufacturing industry, steel DIN EN 90MnCrV8 is frequently used for the production of gauges, standards, and tools for cold working. In these applications, high dimensional accuracy and stability are required. To achieve precise dimensions on a component, a finishing operation is necessary. This finishing operation is conducted after heat treatment. For example, after quenching, high stresses and deformations occur in the material. The consequence of these deformations manifests in reduced accuracy of geometric and dimensional tolerances. Therefore, it is necessary to produce components with an allowance for finishing operations. Heat treatment also results in residual stresses on the surface, which can be either compressive or tensile. Compressive residual stresses, which accumulate towards the core of the component, prevent crack formation and improve component’s fatigue life. In contrast, tensile residual stresses, which tend to pull outward from the material, create a perfect predisposition for crack formation. Another function of grinding is to reduce surface roughness. Surface roughness directly affects tribological factors as well as fatigue life. Large irregularities left by coarse machining act as stress concentrators, leading to faster crack formation. Smoothing the high roughness ensures that these small areas, prone to crack formation, contribute to the improvement of the material’s corrosion resistance.

摘要

In the manufacturing industry, steel DIN EN 90MnCrV8 is frequently used for the production of gauges, standards, and tools for cold working. In these applications, high dimensional accuracy and stability are required. To achieve precise dimensions on a component, a finishing operation is necessary. This finishing operation is conducted after heat treatment. For example, after quenching, high stresses and deformations occur in the material. The consequence of these deformations manifests in reduced accuracy of geometric and dimensional tolerances. Therefore, it is necessary to produce components with an allowance for finishing operations. Heat treatment also results in residual stresses on the surface, which can be either compressive or tensile. Compressive residual stresses, which accumulate towards the core of the component, prevent crack formation and improve component’s fatigue life. In contrast, tensile residual stresses, which tend to pull outward from the material, create a perfect predisposition for crack formation. Another function of grinding is to reduce surface roughness. Surface roughness directly affects tribological factors as well as fatigue life. Large irregularities left by coarse machining act as stress concentrators, leading to faster crack formation. Smoothing the high roughness ensures that these small areas, prone to crack formation, contribute to the improvement of the material’s corrosion resistance.
