Maintenance free exposed

and finished surfaces

What is Maintenance ?
• It is the work undertaken to restore or improve every
facility in every part of a building, its services and
surroundings to currently accepted standards and to
sustain utility values of the facility.
Objectives Of Maintenance:
1. To preserve in good condition buildings and services
2. When deterioration occurs due to any reason it is inevitable to restore it to its
original standard
3. To make improvements whenever required
4. To sustain utility value
A good maintenance team has to ensure
• Safety
• Efficiency
• Reliability
FINISHED SURFACES
The main reasons for Surface finishing are:
• Protection - Protects the surface from dirt, sun (UV rays),
water, fungus, rot, mould, chemicals etc.
• Durability - Strengthens the surface and makes it more
durable.
• Appearance (aesthetics) - Highlights or improves the
appearance of the surface to make it more attractive and
appealing
Definition:
• Surface finishing is the process of altering the surface on an object
(e.g., plating, polishing, anodizing, coating) for the purpose of
enhancing its appearance or functional properties.
• The outermost boundary of a body adjacent to the air is called
surface. when this surface deformed by a sharp cutting edge,the term
surface finish describes the boundary.
• A good surface is affected by many variables in single or multiple
point machining.
Surface finish is defined in terms of 4 factors:
• Roughness - closely spaced surface irregularities, resulting
from the manufacturing process or tools Lay - the overall
direction of the roughness pattern which can be affected by
the machine and setup.
• Waviness - longer spaced irregularities caused by machine
vibration and material warping among other factors
• Flaws - unique surface imperfections in the material or
processing
