    Surface finish, also known a surface texture or surface topography, is the nature of a surface. It comprises the small local deviations of a surface from the perfectly flat ideal (a true plane). Irregularities on the surface or causes of the surface roughness due to rupture of workpiece material during the metal cutting operation.

    What is Surface Roughness | Roughness Measurement Working Principle

    In many applications, surface roughness is closely allied to function, for instance where two surfaces are in close moving contact with each other their surface roughness will affect their sealing or wear properties. This might suggest that it is a case of "the smoother the better", but this is not always true as other factors may be involved. Where lubrication is involved it has been found that roughness valleys are required to hold oil. Also, the financial aspect must be considered: it costs a lot of money to produce very smooth surfaces and the expense of this exercise can add to the bill considerably without gaining a great deal of performance.

    Contours refer to the nominal form of a surface, excluding irregularities that could be categorized as roughness or waviness. Characterizing the contours of a surface profile is complex as it can be inherently difficult to separate waviness from general form.
