Abstract
Two mechanical processes of surface layer (SL) modification were performed on Vanadis 8 tool steel: grinding (G) and hard turning (HT). This steel is classified as powder metallurgy (P/M) high-alloyed tool steel. Heat treatment was carried out in vacuum furnaces with gas quenching until hardness of 64 ±1 HRC was achieved. Surface geometrical structures (SGS), microstructures, residual stress levels and wear resistance of SL resulting in these processes were compared.

8.0 subjected to a heat treatment in vacuum furnaces with gas quenching until hardness of 64 ±1 HRC was achieved
Presented microstructure consists MC type carbide particles in a fine tempered martensite structure, what was confirmed by X-ray diffraction measurements
Summary
Two mechanical processes of surface layer (SL) modification were performed on Vanadis 8 tool steel: grinding (G) and hard turning (HT). 8.0 subjected to a heat treatment (austenizing temperature 1190°C, soaked 4 min 30 s; third tempering for 2 h at 530°C) in vacuum furnaces with gas quenching until hardness of 64 ±1 HRC was achieved.
