What else can I help you with?
What do you mean by Ra and Rz values of surface measurement?
the methodology of measurement and what is measured are quite different. This is critical to understand if you will not be paid for your parts because the Ra you measured is not in fact the Rz surface profile that customer specified.
How do you convert Ra Value To Rz Value?
what do you mean by Ra and Rz values
What is difference between Ra and Rz values?
Ra is Indian standard whereas Rz is DIN standard
RZ value chart?
Approx - Rz is 4 times of Ra
How can the Rz value measure high even if the surface finish is good?
Because, there are two types of RZ value- shortwave & longwave. A High Longwave RZ value will be less smooth than a high shortwave RZ value, because in shortwave, even though the RZ value is high, the undulations are very close together, and so will appear smooth when measured over a long or short area. A High RZ longwave surface appears less smooth, as the undulations occur over a longer area, and so will have more effect with relation to how smooth the surface is. RZ measures only the height of the surface descrepancy at any given point, its not concerned with the frequency of that descrepancy over any distance of the surface-this is how RZ value can be high, but surface finish appears smooth- Its a High RZ, short wavelength surface.

How is surface finish checked?
Surface finish is typically checked using various methods, including visual inspection, tactile methods, and measurement tools. Visual inspection involves examining the surface for imperfections or irregularities under adequate lighting. Tactile methods utilize a stylus or finger to feel for roughness. More precise measurements can be obtained using instruments like profilometers, which quantify surface roughness parameters such as Ra (average roughness) and Rz (average maximum height of the profile).
What is the Ra value of mirror finish?
The Ra value, or average roughness, of a mirror finish typically ranges from 0.1 to 0.2 micrometers (µm). This extremely low roughness indicates a surface that is highly smooth and reflective, suitable for applications where aesthetics and minimal light scattering are important. Achieving such a finish often involves processes like polishing and buffing to eliminate surface imperfections.
Ra equals 0.8 µm?
Ra is the roughness of the surface used in engineering. Mu(greek letter)metres is one millionth of a metre. To put in perspective glass would be around Ra 0.1, polished chrome plating would be around Ra 0.3 so Ra 0.8 is still fairly smooth but a dull finish. You would just be able to feel the surface with your fingernail.
How is surface texture distinguished from surface integrity?
Surface texture refers to the topography or roughness of a surface, which can be measured using parameters like Ra or Rz. Surface integrity, on the other hand, encompasses surface properties beyond roughness, such as residual stress, microstructure alterations, and material properties affected by the manufacturing process. In essence, surface texture refers to the physical appearance of a surface, while surface integrity delves deeper into the structural and material changes induced by manufacturing processes.
How do you polish aluminum to get a surface finish with a rating of 0.2 Ra?
RUB DOWN WITH 1200 GRADE WET AND DRY THEN IF ALLOWED POLISH UP WITH BRASSO.
What is the symbol for surface finish on an engineering drawing?
The symbol for surface finish on an engineering drawing is typically represented by a series of lines and a number, known as a surface texture symbol. It includes a basic symbol with a horizontal line and may feature additional elements like arrows or a roughness value (Ra) to specify the required surface finish. The symbol conveys important information about the desired texture and quality of the surface, which is crucial for the part's functionality and aesthetics.
