What is Surface Finesh Factor?

The surface finish factor is a modifying factor that accounts for the influence of a material's surface texture on its strength or fatigue life. A rougher surface typically leads to higher stress concentrations, reducing the material's ability to withstand fatigue. The surface finish factor adjusts calculations to reflect these effects, ensuring more accurate predictions of a component's performance and longevity in real-world conditions.
