Surface Finish in Modern Machine Development
Surface finish plays a crucial role in modern high-speed machines to minimize friction and wear, ensuring maximum performance and service life at a low cost. Factors influencing surface finish selection include size, function, loading type, movement speed, operating conditions, material characteristics, lubricant use, and temperature.

Surface finish Modern development of high-speed machines has resulted in higher loadings and increased speeds of moving parts To withstand these operation conditions with minimum friction and wear a particular surface finish is often essential Specify the right surface to give maximum performance and service life at lowest cost Factors that influence the choice on surface finish Size and function of the parts Type of loading Speed and direction of movement Operating conditions Physical characteristics of both materials on contact Type and amount of lubricant and contaminant Temperature 2025. 02. 20.

Surface finish characteristics Roughness: consists of the finer irregularities in the surface texture, usually including those that result from the inherent action of the production process. These include traverse feed marks and other irregularities within the limits of the roughness-width cutoff Roughness-Height Value: rated as the arithmetic average deviation expressed in micrometers measured normal to the center line. Roughness spacing: the distance parallel to the nominal surface between the surccessive peaks or ridges that constitute the predominant pattern of the roughness Roughness-Width Cutoff: The greatest spacing of repetitive surface irregularities is included in the measurement of averae roughness height Waviness: usually the most widely spaced of the surface texture components and normally is wider than the roughness-width cutoff. Waviness may result from such factors as machine or work deflections, vibration, chatter, heat treatment or warping strains. Roughness may be considered as superimposed on a wavy surface. Waviness is not currently in ISO standards, it is included as part of the surface texture symbol to reflect present industrial practices in the USA Lay: the direction of the predominant surface pattern, ordinaly determined by the production method used Flaws: irregularities that occur at one place or at relatively infrequent or widely varying intervals in a surface, such as defects as cracks, blow holes, checks, ridges and scratches. Unless otherwise specified the effect of flaws is not included in the roughness height measurements 2025. 02. 20. Hajdu Fl ra

Surface finish on technical drawings The point of the symbol should be located on the line indicating the surface On an extension line from the surface On a leader pointing to the surface or extension line In case of small dimensions it can be placed on the dimension line if it is not ambiguous The symbol applies to the entire surface unless otherwise specified The symbol for the same surface should not be duplicated on other views 2025. 02. 20.
