Advanced Ceramics are being extensively used in the defense and aerospace industries. As the production of critical ceramic components require a high degree of engineering expertise and manufacturing ...

What is Hardware Surface Finish? Any surface can look (and even feel) perfectly smooth. However, look closely enough with high magnification and all surfaces will have a degree of fluctuation and a ...

Surface finishing is a vital part of many manufacturing projects. How the exterior surfaces of a part or component are made ready for use is important to the manufacturing process. Once a surface is ...

Three new surface finishes for as-cast formed concrete are defined in the new ACI 301-10 Specifications for Structural Concrete, which supersedes ACI 301-05. Rough-Form and Smooth-Form As-Cast ...

Some original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) may not be familiar with printed circuit board (PCB) surface finish. However, most veteran PCB designers, fabricators, and assembly engineers are well ...

New research has shed light on how the preparation of carbon nanotubes can impact their surface roughness, and, therefore, their properties and suitability for biomedical applications. Here, we ...
