The results of a heat treatment are influenced by the state of the material before heat treatment, e. g. microstructure, residual stresses, surface layers, etc. Consequently, different production chains can lead to differences in microstructure and distortion behavior. In this case properties as well as time and costs of hard machining after heat treatment are influenced. This paper was first published in German in HTM Journal of Heat Treatment and Materials ©Carl Hanser Verlag, Muenchen/Germany and gives examples for the influences of production chains on thermochemical treatments such as case hardening [1].
