For some applications and projects, the surface finish of a component can be a crucial parameter. Typically, it can be important to ensure quality, negate corrosive effects, or reduce friction for making components. Because of this, manufacturers making parts in production need to understand how to evaluate the quality of a part’s surface texture and understand its associated implications. There are five main categories of surface finishing processes and each deliver a different aesthetic, feel, and part properties.
