ME 317 Day 2 • Economics of Process Selection • Cost Factors • Fixed vs. Variable costs • Direct vs. Indirect costs • Characterization of Part Geometry • Metrology • Tolerances • Surface Finish
Surface Finish The Ra parameter measures average roughness. It is not sensitive to occasional spikes and gouges. On the other hand, the Rmax parameter is designed to detect these anomalies. The two surfaces shown here have nearly identical Ra values but very different Rmax values.http://www.mmsonline.com/articles/039903.html
