Surface Roughness Achievements at TDC

TDC’s Surface Roughness and Ra Achievements

We are pleased to present the surface roughness achievements for various materials that have undergone mirror finishing at TDC.

The achievements presented on this page are just examples.
Please note that the surface roughness values are based on actual processing results. For champion data or the most recent data, feel free to contact us. We are actively processing materials not listed here, including new materials.
If you have a material you would like to process or specific surface roughness/finish requirements, please don’t hesitate to consult with TDC!

The surface roughness data is based on JIS B0601 standards.

After mirror finishing, we will use the in-house surface roughness measuring machine and ship the data together.

We use AFM (Bruker), new view 9000 (ZYGO), Tali Surf CCI SunStar (Taylor Hobson), and Surf Test (Mitutoyo) according to the application and request.

Surface Roughness Data Sample

  • Measuring Instrument :Talysurf CCI SunStar
  • Taylor Hobson
  • Non-contact Optical 3D Profiler
