Abstract: Inhomogeneous thermal fields and plastic deformation are two basic phenomena present during surface creation and substantially determine future real structure of the surface layers. In the following, a closer look will be taken at some aspects connected with real structure of milled and ground steels. Impact of end-mill speed and thickness of removed layer on grain size, macroscopic and microscopic residual stress is discussed. Possibility of prestrained surface layer in ground steel has been examined on a set of five types of steels.
