Abstract
Metastable austenitic steels offer the opportunity of a surface hardening during machining due to a deformation induced martensite formation, substituting downstream hardening-processes. To maintain the necessary low process and workpiece temperatures for a phase transformation from austenite to martensite, cryogenic cooling using CO2-snow was examined in this study. The influence of workpiece diameter, coolant flow rate as well as pre-cooling and pre-surface hardening on the obtainable phase content of martensite in the surface layer was investigated.
