Abstract: Cylindrical grinding operation is an important metal cutting process used as a finish process to achieve the surface quality and dimensional stability of the products. In this context, experimental work and statistical analysis in researches contribute to improve product quality of manufactured parts. Tempered steels are widely used for automotive components and manufacturing applications. The objective of this study is to analyze the surface roughness (Ra) values of cryogenically (cryo) treated and tempered steels in cylindrical grinding operation. According to the grinding experiments created by the Taguchi method, grinding wheels (Al2O3 and SiC), heat treated steel samples (HT, CT24, and CT36) and depth of cut (50, 100, and 150μm) were selected to determine the optimum surface roughness values of these steels. The results showed that significant improvements in Ra values of cryo-treated and tempered steels were observed. The lowest Ra values were obtained in cryo-treated sample (CT36) with SiC grinding wheel and depth of cut (50μm).
