  2. Surface finishing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_finishing

    Surface finishing. A drill bit with surface finishing to make the cutting edges harder. Surface finishing is a broad range of industrial processes that alter the surface of a manufactured item to achieve a certain property. [1] Finishing processes may be employed to: improve appearance, adhesion or wettability, solderability, corrosion ...

  3. Surface finish - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_finish

    Surface finish, also known as surface texture or surface topography, is the nature of a surface as defined by the three characteristics of lay, surface roughness, and waviness. [1] It comprises the small, local deviations of a surface from the perfectly flat ideal (a true plane). Surface texture is one of the important factors that control ...

  4. Superfinishing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superfinishing

    Superfinishing, also known as microfinishing [1] and short-stroke honing, is a metalworking process that improves surface finish and workpiece geometry. This is achieved by removing just the thin amorphous surface layer of fragmented or smeared metal left by the last process with an abrasive stone or tape; this layer is usually about 1 μm in magnitude.

  5. Surface metrology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_metrology

    Surface metrology. Surface metrology is the measurement of small-scale features on surfaces, and is a branch of metrology. Surface primary form, surface fractality, and surface finish (including surface roughness) are the parameters most commonly associated with the field. It is important to many disciplines and is mostly known for the ...

  6. Surface roughness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_roughness

    Surface roughness, often shortened to roughness, is a component of surface finish (surface texture). It is quantified by the deviations in the direction of the normal vector of a real surface from its ideal form. If these deviations are large, the surface is rough; if they are small, the surface is smooth. In surface metrology, roughness is ...

  7. Plating - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plating

    Plating is a finishing process in which a metal is deposited on a surface. Plating has been done for hundreds of years; it is also critical for modern technology. Plating is used to decorate objects, for corrosion inhibition, to improve solderability, to harden, to improve wearability, to reduce friction, to improve paint adhesion, to alter conductivity, to improve IR reflectivity, for ...

  8. Wood finishing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wood_finishing

    Wood finishing refers to the process of refining or protecting a wooden surface, especially in the production of furniture where typically it represents between 5 and 30% of manufacturing costs. [1][2] Finishing is the final step of the manufacturing process that gives wood surfaces desirable characteristics, including enhanced appearance and ...

  9. Surface grinding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_grinding

    Surface grinding. Surface grinding is done on flat surfaces to produce a smooth finish. It is a widely used abrasive machining process in which a spinning wheel covered in rough particles (grinding wheel) cuts chips of metallic or nonmetallic substance from a workpiece, making a face of it flat or smooth. Sometimes a surface grinder is known as ...
