A Complete Guide to Understand Surface Roughness in Manufacturing

Surface roughness is an excellent predictor of mechanical part performance because irregularities on the surface can produce nucleation sites for fractures or corrosion. In tribology, rough surfaces wear faster and have greater friction coefficients than smooth surfaces. Roughness may be needed in some applications to facilitate adherence to cosmetic finish coatings such as plating, powder …
