Determination of Machining Parameters for a Specific Adjustment of the Residual Stress Profile by Induction Hardening*

Abstract Within the research work of Transregional Collaborative Research Center TRR 136, process signatures were determined for processes that generate essentially thermal loading component surface layer. These represent correlations between material modifications (e. g. changes residual stress, microstructure, hardness profile, etc.) and characteristic values loading. The underlying idea is does not know any but only loads caused by processes. In particular, same lead to regardless kind process. A decisive advantage this concept over conventional approaches possibility calculating necessary internal backwards on basis concrete specifications modifications. If there are additional quantities as well machining parameters, parameters can be determined, too. paper, procedure will introduced using example one-sided induction hardening cuboidal components made 42CrMo4. determination signature experimental numerical investigations described verifications presented.
