The grinding process is currently used for most of the parts requiring good precision. However, the apparition of some damage related to this process is still uncontrolled. The major deterioration is from a metallurgical point of view linked to an augmentation of temperature in the workpiece. This paper contributes to understand the way damage appears in ground surfaces performed with grinding. A model for numerical simulation of grinding is presented taking into account both thermal, mechanical and metallurgical aspects.
