For complex part geometry, hand grinding is one of finishing and super finishing process the most used in mechanical industry. Surface integrity is today one major concern for industrials. The surface integrity is defined by a set of important characteristics of ground surface as surface geometric parameters (roughness, …), mechanical behaviour of the subsurface (hardness, residual stress, …) and structural changes of the material in the near surface. High heat and pressure, high strain and strain rate observed during hand grinding process, strongly influence surface integrity. Therefore, the surface behaviour, in terms of resistance to corrosion and crack initiation depends on how the process was conducted. The purpose of this study is to understand the effects of thermal and mechanical plastic deformation induced on the surface of components. The action of the disc-grinding wheel on the workpiece is modelled by a moving heat flux on the surface. The challenge is to be able to find the shape and intensity of thermomechanical load entering the workpiece in accordance
