By selecting proper machining parameters, both grinding and hard turning are capable of producing very good surface finish. However, other surface integrity characteristics such as hardness, microstructure, residual stress, can be significantly different between the two machining methods [Guo and Janowski, 2004; Guo and Sahni, 2004].
The guiding surface should be ground. Raceways on shafts and in housings should have the same hardness, surface finish and axial run-out as a bearing washer, if the load carrying capacity of a needle roller and cage thrust assembly is to be fully exploited
Material and surface finish of counter surfaces. PTFE composite and POM composite plain bearing arrangements, soft carbon steels with a ground surface are usually adequate for the counter surface. For more demanding applications, SKF recommends hardened counter surfaces. These should have a surface hardness of at least 500 HB (50 HRC).

Surface finish is a term that refers to the process used to alter a metal's surface by adding, removing or reshaping. The goal is to protect the metal and improve the aesthetic side. The result depends on the metal finishing method. Often, there are a few different ways to achieve the same or similar results.
Achieving the best possible surface finish during grinding will reduce the stock removal necessary during polishing. The surface lay generated by grinding would cause abrasion to the bearing surfaces if left unpolished. By polishing in the direction shown in either the figure 3 or 4, the surface lay is reversed by the
In order to obtain a wear and oxidation resistant surface, hydraulic cylinders are commonly coated with electrodeposited hard chromium. However, due to the wear, this type of coating exhibits a gradual increase of the bearing area for the sealing elements, interfering in the lubrication of the hydraulic rod, causing damage to the sealing elements and, consequently, oil …

Surface hardness is typically kept at 63 Rc for excellent wear characteristics while the core is kept at 37 Rc for excellent shear strength characteristics (fig. 1). Basically, it allows the tooth to flex while under load vs. a brittle tooth that might break, all while maintaining a hard surface to minimize wear.
The average surface roughness (R a) of the as-PM, UNSM-25 and UNSM-300 samples was measured using a non-contact 3D scanner, where it was found to be 3.21, 1.14 and 0.74 µm, respectively. The top surface hardness was also measured in order to investigate the influence of UNSM treatment temperature on the hardness.
The parameters for specifying a surface finish are defined in ISO 4287, 4288 and DIN 4762 standards. The parameters are measured and/or calculated from the roughness mean line. The most commonly used value is Ra – arithmetic average roughness, which is the arithmetic mean deviation of the surface profile from the Center Line/ (Figure 1).
The use of pairs of roughness parameters (Lr, Ra) allows us to classify surfaces which cannot be distinguished by only one parameter: low profile length ratio Lr (Lr = 100.23%) is clearly distinguished from an irregular surface corresponding to a profile length ratio Lr (Lr = 100.42%), whereas the roughness average Ra values are nearly identical.

Adjusting the grinding parameters can be the easiest and fastest solution to improve a part's surface finish. Here are the key parameters and recommended actions to do it successfully. Creepfeed/surface grinding: Increase wheel speed. This is a good starting point. However, be sure the wheel is rated to run at the new speed.
Objective of grinding process is to generate high quality surface finish on work piece. There are many parameters which influence on the work piece roughness.

Tool forces and surface finish are often used as measures to evaluate the performance of a machining process. Cutting parameters have their own influence on the forces and surface finish. In this study, the forces and surface finish produced during turning of hardened EN31 steel (equivalent to AISI 52100 grade) have been analyzed.
The surface roughness values, studied in this study, were found to be in the range of 2–3 µm. This high value of surface roughness is attributed to the very high hardness of material (∼60 R c) and the absence of the coating on the cutting tool.

Surface roughness parameters of the steel plates were measured using optical profilometer.
Grinding is used to finish workpieces that must show high surface quality (e.g., low surface roughness) and high accuracy of shape and dimension. As the accuracy in dimensions in grinding is of the order of 0.000025 mm, in most applications it tends to be a finishing operation and removes comparatively little metal, about 0.25 to 0.50 mm depth.
