In this work, residual stress and hardness distributions across the crankshaft bearings cross-sections are evaluated using synchrotron high-energy X-ray diffraction and hardness testing. It is shown that the measured hardening depth correlates with a point of sudden sharp reversal of the stress gradient from compressive to tensile. This point is linked to the microstructure and does not shift with subsequent tempering or trimming of the sample.
