Abstract: This study investigates the strain hardening and dislocation structure in the surface layers of C45 steel subjected to precision grinding at various depths. The aim was to assess how different grinding conditions influence the mechanical response and defect structure of ferrite. Nanoindentation was used to evaluate mechanical properties, while X-ray diffraction analysis provided data on the microstrain, crystallite size, and residual stress. The character and density of dislocations were further examined using modified Williamson–Hall and q-parameter analysis. The results revealed that the sample ground to a depth of 2 μm exhibited the highest density of statistically stored dislocations, as well as the lowest dislocation mobility. This condition also corresponded to the highest residual stresses and the greatest share of screw dislocations, indicating intense strain localization. In contrast, deeper grinding depths resulted in lower dislocation densities and reduced the strain energy. The observed trends highlight the formation of a dislocation-rich nanostructured layer in the shallowest ground region. These findings provide new insights into the mechanisms of surface hardening in ferritic steels and demonstrate how the depth of material removal during grinding governs the subsurface microstructure and strengthening effects.
