The metal machining process results in a surface texture which may need to be corrected to one of a number of acceptable machined surface finishes. They include reaming, grinding, milling, turning, and more.

Surface finish is a measure of the overall texture of a metal part characterized by lay, surface roughness, and waviness. Each of these is explained in more detail in the video.

We will also explore how to measure surface finish with both contact and non-contact methods and understand roughness, learning about Mean Roughness (Roughness Average Ra).

We look at what surface finish comparators are and how they can be used to assess the finish of recently made parts. For instance, if a part has been ground, and engineer can compare the final finish with the comparator to assess the quality of its surface finish.

Finally, we examine the costs involved in obtaining higher quality surface finishes.

In the next video, you'll explore 'dimensional control' and how it affects quality and productivity: [ Ссылка ]
