SURFACE FINISH

Surface finish of MIM parts is approximately 32 RMS (0.80 micrometer), appreciably better than most investment castings. However, profilometer readings may be affected by residual porosity and are subject to interpretation. The method of measuring surface finish should be agreed upon by both the customer and vendor. The surface of MIM parts can be improved by conventional processes such as grinding, lapping or burnishing.
