Abstract

The problem of interrelating the functional performance of a component with the manufacturing process and surface characterization has recently gained emphasis as a vital activity of research claimed by industry. The objective of this work is to present an orderly scientific approach for this problem especially in view of the "rash" of surface parameters and the few proposals for the cure. Such methodology will ultimately be a sure help to researchers in a difficult and time—consuming area.
