Abstract

Up to now, the discussion in the text has been principally concerned with the surface topography, or roundness of components. This topographical information is valid but disguises the fact that the subsurface material layers may have been fundamentally altered during the production process by either forming or generating the part. The term surface integrity has been coined to describe the altered material zone (AMZ), for the localised subsurface layers that differ from those of the bulk material. These AMZs are in reality a sequence of zones that correspond to a range of subsurface features and alterations, which can take the form of modifications promoted by metallurgical residual stresses, plastic deformations, chemical changes and modifications in hardness. They may not all be present at every instant of time, but any one of them can become dominant, depending on whether the production process and operating environment vary in their relative relationships and magnitudes.
