1. Introduction
• Factors to be considered in selecting surface
finish:
• (i) function of the parts
• (ii) size
• (iii) type of loading (e.g. fatigue)
• (iv) speed
• (v) operating conditions (e.g. temperature)
• (vi) physical characteristics of materials in contact
• (vii) type and amount of lubricant.
