Machining Surface Finish Chart

1. The document provides a conversion chart comparing surface finish measurements and degrees between China and the USA for machined iron and steel castings. 2. The surface finish is measured using parameters like Ra, Rz, and RMS roughness and is classified into 10 degrees ranging from very coarse to super fine. 3. The chart lists the numerical values of each parameter corresponding to each degree of finish and examples of machining methods that can achieve each level of surface smoothness.

As for machining to iron and steel castings, the surface finish smooth degree is also an
important requirement. The following is the conversion chart is from dandong foundry, for
Ra (um), Ra (micro inch), Rz (um), RMS and finish degree in China and USA, including the
related finish methods.
