• This chapter describes various features of surfaces that have a direct bearing on both the selection of manufacturing processes and the service life of the parts made.
• Surface features, such as roughness, texture, and lay, are explained, as well as the approaches used to quantitatively describe and measure surfaces.
• The chapter also examines the nature of friction, its role in manufacturing, and the factors influencing its magnitude. ...
