International Journal of Advanced Manufacturing Technology, Vol. 93, Issue 9-12, December 2017, pp. 4007-40130268-3768https://dspace.lib.cranfield.ac.uk/handle/1826/12411Grind-hardening process is a hybrid process for the simultaneous finishing and heat treatment of the workpiece material. Several studies have been presented for the simulation of the process, using either analytical or finite element-based models. In the present paper, the cellular automata method is used for simulating the metallurgical changes in the workpiece material. The method is coupled with a finite element model for the macro-modelling of the process, allowing the prediction of the microstructure of the material as a function of the macro-process parameters.enAttribution-NonCommercial 4.0 Internationalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/Grinding ModellingSurface hardeningCellular automataArticle
