The final machining of metalic materials is the first tribological state a work piece acquires. The final machining decides over the lifetime of the work piece and its frictional power consumption. Besides complex metallurgical processes tribochemical reactions take place which are poorly understood. Optimized final machining routines lead to a significant reduction of frictional losses and to a reduced emission of CO2.
