Functional and Decorative Texturing

Textures are applied to certain surfaces to serve specific functional purposes, such as improving grip, reducing slippage, enhancing aesthetics, dampening noise, promoting adhesion, and facilitating lubrication in various applications and industries. References Decorating Techniques in Watchmaking

Surface Texture: Roughness, Waviness and Lay

Surface Texture: Roughness, Waviness and Lay
Surface texture refers to the characteristics of a material's outermost layer that can be observed and felt when touched or examined closely. It encompasses several key aspects, including surface roughness, waviness, and lay. Understanding and controlling surface texture is crucial for ensuring the desired performance, aesthetics, and functionality of products in fields ranging from manufacturing...
