The design of structures of modern industry has developed to satisfy stringent service, realiability and safety. Up to now, geometric profile which means surface foughness and dimension accuracy is mainly treated in manufacturing process of work surface. But it is inevitable to evaluate changes of surface geometry as well as the nature of alterations in surface layers because surface of workpiece changes as a result of phase transformation, chemical changes, plastic deformation and stress changes. This paper is to present principal data for safety design by verifying the effect of grinding conditions and method in grinding layers and to explain the method of measuring surface integrity. In this paper, structural steel(SM20C) is used as a workpiece. Of integrity, surface roughness in view of surface texture is analyzed by frequency domain and residual stress, structures and defect of ground layers in view of surface metallurgy are investigated.
