The research includes the combination of abrasive material removal and plastic deformation in a single grinding step. Therefore high specific energy values are needed and thermal effects counteracting the work-hardening have to be minimised. This can be achieved by low cutting speeds in combination with low depths of cut. The new approach results in an in-process work-hardening of the surface layer, which was found to lead to higher hardness, a compressive residual stress state, and higher wear resistance.enCC BY-NC-ND 4.0 (Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives)https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/GrindingSurface integrityResidual stress600 Technik, Medizin, angewandte Wissenschaften::620 IngenieurwissenschaftenText::Zeitschrift::Wissenschaftlicher Artikel10.26092/elib/2347urn:nbn:de:gbv:46-elib70263
