Irregularities present on a surface are often described as surface roughness or texture. These surface textures such as grooves and dimples impart friction, which is the force between two sliding ...

Optical 3D metrology enables fast, non-contact surface roughness measurement of defects and roughness for precise ...

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 ...

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 ...

Surface roughness influences many mechanical properties, including friction and adhesion, surface reactivity, semiconductor substrate quality, and surface interaction with electromagnetic waves, ...

The type of surface finish chosen will make a difference in the life of an application. Find out why surface finish is specified, how surface finish is measured, what does it mean by mill finish, and ...

The contact.engineering platform enables users to create a digital twin of a surface and thus to help predict, for example, how quickly it wears out, how well it conducts heat, or how well it adheres ...

Choosing the right Surface Finish for Chip on Board assembly is crucial. One of the most frequent questions we are asked at KingCredie Technologies is how should my PCB be plated in order to ensure ...
