“…As a result, the interaction between abrasive grits and different phases will generate different mechanical properties (Nguyena et al, 2014). Some numerical methods have been developed to analyze the thermo-metallurgical or thermo-mechanical effects during grind-hardening, such as transient temperature distribution, micro-structural transformation, part distortions and surface integrity (Brinksmeier et al, 2003;Foeckerer et al, 2012Foeckerer et al, , 2013Kolkwitz et al, 2011aKolkwitz et al, , 2011bMahdi and Zhang, 2000;Nguyen and Zhang, 2011;Zaeh et al, 2009). Duscha et al (2011) modeled and simulated the change of material properties as a function of temperature and phase history during grinding.…”
