Journal Article
Liao, Z., la Monaca, A., Murray, J., Speidel, A., Ushmaev, D., Clare, A., Axinte, D., & M'Saoubi, R. (2021). Surface integrity in metal machining - Part I: Fundamentals of surface characteristics and formation mechanisms. International Journal of Machine Tools and Manufacture, 162, 1-51. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijmachtools.2020.103687

The surface integrity of machined metal components is critical to their in-service functionality, longevity and overall performance. Surface defects induced by machining operations vary from the nano to macro scale, which cause microstructural, mecha...
