What is a .4 surface finish?

4 – A linearly textured finish that may be produced by either mechanical polishing or rolling. Average surface roughness (Ra) may generally be up to 25 micro-inches (0.64 micrometres).

What does a 32 finish mean?

Often referred to as the ‘workhorse finish,’ No. 4 Standard Satin Finish (32 Ra Max) is one of the most common finishes suitable for architectural and processing vessels. Consistent satin grain appearance satisfies strict sanitary requirements and is easily blendable.

What is the difference between surface finish and surface roughness?

Surface roughness refers to the height of macro and micro asperities and irregularities present on a finished surface after machining; while surface finish indicates quality of that surface using various attributes (like fine, rough, good, poor, etc.).

What is RA measurement for surface finish?

Ra is the arithmetic average of surface heights measured across a surface, Ra surface finish. Simply average the height across the microscopic peaks and valleys. It basically reflects the average height of roughness component irregularities from a mean line.

What is a #7 finish?

#7 Finish. Smooth buffed finish with a very bright appearance. Light haze. The part is belt polished with a 280 – 320 belt then buffed with a cut and color compound. This is a common finish in preparation for chrome plating, powder coating, anodizing, etc.

What does Um mean in surface finish?

SURFACE FINISH COMPARISON CHART The term Micro means millionth. So 1 micrometer is 1 millionth of a meter, or . 000001 meter.

Can a N6 finish be used on a N9 blade?

Yes to Ted’s answer. You can get a N9 finish for sure, with a bandsaw, N8 if you are using a good blade with fine teeth. N6 finish will need to be machined. Q, A, or Comment on THIS thread SEARCH for Threads about

How big is N7 on a surface chart?

Static mating surfaces (or datums)…. N7 = 1.6 m m (micro.m) Bearing Surfaces…. N6 = 0.8 m m (micro.m) Fine lapped surfaces…. N1 = 0.025 m m (micro.m)

How big is a smooth machined surface N10?

Can you get N9 finish on a bandsaw?

You can get a N9 finish for sure, with a bandsaw, N8 if you are using a good blade with fine teeth. N6 finish will need to be machined.
