For nearly every application, the finish on a surface plays a critical role, bringing an enormous impact on performance and longevity.
Each manufacturing process used to acquire a specific surface finish produces a characteristic direction (lay) to the surface which affects wear patterns, performance, and longevity
Gallagher knows it's imperative to bring attention to the importance of surface finish and its relativity to the performance of your seals.
Below is part 2 of our 6-part video webinar series on Surface Finish.
Part 2 will discuss:
1. Surface finish considerations with manufacturing processes
- Different manufacturing processes
- Turning
- Grinding
- Polishing
2. Surface irregularities
- Tool wobble/chatter
- Quality of cutting tool
- Nature of machined stock/material
