SURFACE FINISH
The main reasons for Surface finishing are: 
Protection - Protects the surface from dirt, sun 
(UV rays), water, fungus, rot, mould, chemicals 
etc. 
Durability - Strengthens the surface and makes 
it more durable. 
Appearance (aesthetics) - Highlights or 
improves the appearance of the surface to make 
it more attractive and appealing
Definition 
Surface finishing is the process of altering the surface on an 
object (e.g., plating, polishing, anodizing, coating) for the 
purpose of enhancing its appearance or functional 
properties. 
The outermost boundary of a body adjacent to the air is 
called surface.when this surface deformed by a sharp cutting 
edge,the term surface finish describes the boundary. 
 A good surface is affected by many variables in single or 
multiple point machining.
Surface finish is defined in terms of 4 factors: 
Roughness – closely spaced surface irregularities, 
resulting from the manufacturing process or tools 
Lay – the overall direction of the roughness pattern 
which can be affected by the machine and setup. 
Waviness – longer spaced irregularities caused by 
machine vibration and material warping among other 
factors 
Flaws – unique surface imperfections in the material or 
processing
 The surface finish requirements depend on the application.
