DEFINITION
Surface Texture is defined as a degree of finish conveyed to the machinist
by a system of symbols devised by a Standards Association, eg. ASA – American
Standards Association, BS – British Standards
Modern technology has demanded improved surface finishes to ensure
proper functioning and long life of machine parts. Pistons, bearings, and gears
depend to a great extent on a good surface finish for proper functioning and
therefore, require little or no break-in period.
Finer finishes often require
additional operation, such as lapping or honing. The higher finishes are not
always required on parts and only result in higher production costs. To prevent
overfinishing a part, the desired finish is indicated on the shop drawing.
Information specifying the degree of finish is conveyed to the machinist by a
system of symbols devised by Standards Associations, eg. ASA American
Standards Association and BS British Standards.
These symbols provide a
standard system of determining and indicating surface finish. The inch unit for
surface finish measurement is microinch (µin), while the metric unit is
micrometer (µm)

Figure 4.1. Standard terminology and symbols to describe surface finish
Regardless of the method of production, all surfaces have their own
characteristics, which are collectively referred to as surface texture, Fig. 4.1.
Certain guidelines have been established to identify surface texture in terms of
well-defined and measurable quantities (Figure 4.2)

abrasive grain action and the machine feed. Roughness may be
superimposed on waviness.

Roughness height
Roughness height, Ra is the deviation to the centre line in
micro inches or micrometers.

4.1.4. Waviness
Waviness is a recurrent deviation from a flat surface, much like
waves on the surface of water. It is measured and described in terms of
the surface between adjacent crests of the waves (waviness width) and
height between the crests and valleys of the waves (waviness height).
Waviness can be caused by:
a) deflection of tools, dies or the work piece
b) force or temperature sufficient to cause warping
c) uneven lubrication
d) vibration
e) any periodic mechanical or thermal variations on the system
during manufacturing operations.
4.1.5. Profile
The contour of a specified section through a surface.
4.1.6. Microinch and micrometer
The unit of measurement used to measure surface finish. The
microinch is equal to 0.000 001 inch and the micrometer equals to
0.000 001 meter.

Types of defects found on surfaces are scratches, cracks, holes,
depression, seams, tears or inclusions. These defects can be caused
during the machining or production process such as moulding,

4.4 SURFACE ROUGHNESS
Surface roughness is generally described in two methods: arithmetic mean
value and root-mean-square average.
4.4.1 The Arithmetic Mean Value, Ra.
Ra, formerly identified as AA for arithmetic average or CLA for
centre-line average is based on the schematic illustration of a rough
surface, which is shown in (Figure 4.4). The arithmetic mean value, Ra, is
defined as
a + b + c + d + e + f + ...
(4.4.1)
n
Where, all ordinates, a, b, c, …, are absolute values, and n is the number
of readings
Ra =
4.4.2. The Root-Mean-Square Average, Rq.
Rq, formerly identified as RMS is defined as
a 2 + b 2 + c 2 + d 2 +...
Rq =
n
(4.4.2)
The datum line AB in figure 4.4 is located so that the sum of the
area above the line is equal to the sum of the areas below the line. The
units generally used for surface roughness are µm (micrometer, or micron)
or µin (microinch). ( Note, 1µm = 40 µin and 1µin = 0.025 µm ).

4.5. COMPARISON OF Ra AND Rq
The arithmetic mean value, Ra was adopted internationally in the mid1950s and is used widely in engineering practice. Equations 4.4.1 and 4.4.2
show that there is a relationship between Rq and Ra, as shown by the ratio
Rq
.
Ra
The table 4.4 below gives this ratio for various surfaces:

Lapping and honing

Ra

1.2
1.4
In general, a surface cannot be describe by its Ra and Rq value alone,
since these values are averages. Two surfaces may have the same roughness
value but have actual topography which is very different. A few deep troughs on
an otherwise smooth surface, for example, do not affect the roughness values
significantly. However, the type of surface profile can be significant in terms of
friction, wear and fatigue characteristics of a manufactured product.
It is therefore, important to analyze the surface in great detail,
particularly for parts used in critical applications. Some 130 parameters have
been identified thus far for measuring surface roughness.

4.6 USING A SURFACE TEXTURE COMPARATOR
A more elaborate device for measuring surface finish is the surface
analyzer (prolimeter surface measuring instrument).
It utilizes a recording
device to reproduce the surface irregularities on a graduated chart, providing an
ink-line record.
Although the surface indicator is the most common, other methods may be
used to measure surface finish with reasonable accuracy during machining
processes, including:
4.6.1. Comparison blocks.
Comparison blocks which are use for comparing the finish on the
work piece with the calibrated finish on a test block. Surface roughness
can be measured by comparison inspection or by direct measurement. In
comparison inspection the surface roughness can be estimated by
matching a work piece surface with blocks that display a series of
increasingly smooth surfaces, Fig. 4.5.
4.6.2. Commercial sets of standard finished specimens.
Commercial sets of standard finished specimens, which have up to
25 different surface finish samples.

These specimens ( Fig. 4.5. ) are used to check the finish of the

finish produced of the part. It is often difficult to determine the finish

Maximum roughness height, Rt, is defined as the height from the
deepest trough to the highest peak. It indicates how much material has to
be removed in order to obtain a smooth surface by polishing or other
means
(h1 + h3 + h5 + h7 + h9 ) - (h2 + h4 + h6 + h8 + h10 )
