Description of the dataset:

Hard-turning experiments were conducted on cylindrical specimens made of a quenched and tempered (Q&T) steel 51CrV4
in different initial surface hardness levels, i. e. 400 HV30, 500 HV30 and 600 HV30. Prior to heat treatment,
all specimens were manufactured with the same roughness requirements in order to ensure an almost identical surface
finish before hard-turning. Three different sections of nine specimen of each hardness level
(i.e. in total 27 section-specific areas per hardness level) were machined with varied cutting parameters feed rate
(f), depth of cut (a_p) and cutting speed (v_c).
Hard-turning of the specimens was carried out on a servo-conventional lathe of type Weiler C30 using
polycrystalline boron nitride (PCBN) inserts with a corner radius of 0.8 mm.

After hard-turning, residual stress depth profiles were determined using X-ray diffraction (XRD),
respectively for each specific area of a specimen. Residual stress measurements were conducted using a
Pulstec μ-X360 diffractometer equipped with a 0.3 mm collimator and CrKα-radiation with an exposure time
of 120 sec. Depth profiles were determined by successive removal of the material surface layer using
electro-chemical polishing. The obtained data have been evaluated applying the cos α-method without consideration
of any mathematical stress correction.

Post process surface roughness in axial direction was determined using a Mitutoyo SJ-210 tactile roughness
measuring device. Post process Vickers hardness testing was carried out using a Struers DuraScan-70 system
employing a load of 294.2 N (HV30).
For more detailed information on the material and the experimental setup, i.e., chemical composition, specimen
geometry, machines and parameters used for hard-turning operations and post process measurements, the reader is
referred to [1].

A full factorial experiment design was used with two levels for the initial hardness levels H_Vinit and three
factors for the cutting parameters, f: {0.05 mm, 0.25 mm, 0.5 mm}, v_c: {100 m/min, 175 m/min, 250 m/min},
a_p: {0.05 mm, 0.25 mm, 0.5 mm}, resulting in 81 different combinations. For the residual stress depth profile
modeling, measurements for 12 different depths are available:
{0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 80, 100, 120, 150, 200} μm, providing for N = 972 samples in total.

Two data sets are provided:
1. "hardness_roughness_hard_turning.csv" with the 81 data points for the surface hardness and roughness measurements.
2. "residual_stress_profile_hard_turning.csv" with the 972 data points for the tangential residual stress depth profiles.
