Which risk increases when coolant flow ceases during high-speed CBN grinding of hardened steel?

💡 Explanation

Loss of coolant lets frictional heat promote untempered martensite formation during grinding; this thermal damage creates the "white layer." Because thermal stress exceeds the yield strength, white layer formation therefore causes cracking rather than merely oxidizing or blunting like other wear modes.
