Abstract
Surface integrity factor is defined by the manufacturing history of the material. The effects of various combinations
of heat treatment and finish grinding used to produce D2 steel dies were evaluated by means of x-ray diffraction,
microstructural, hardness and roughness examinations. Materials characteristics were evaluated in terms of heat
treatment procedures and different finishing parameters. X-ray diffraction analysis indicated that final residual
stresses, generated in the materials by finish grinding depend heavily on the initial residual stresses induced upon
heat treatment. Overall, the two-part study established which parameters produce the most advantageous
combination of properties resulting in longer service life.
