Which undesired effect could initiate cracks within ground surfaces?

💡 Explanation

When grinding hardened steel, high temperatures can austenitize and then quench the surface leading to thermal contraction. This temperature gradient induces **residual tensile stress** because the surface's contraction is geometrically constrained; therefore, surface tensile cracks appear, rather than compressive stress which resists crack propogation..
