The methodology of measurement and what is measured when calculating Ra and Rz are quite different. This is critical to understand if you will not be paid for your parts because the Ra you measured is not in fact the Rz surface profile that customer specified.
Ra is calculated by an algorithm that measures the average length between the peaks and valleys and the deviation from the mean line on the entire surface within the sampling length.
Ra averages all peaks and valleys of the roughness profile and then neutralizes the few outlying points so that the extreme points have no significant impact on the final results.
“Rz is calculated by measuring the vertical distance from the highest peak to the lowest valley within five sampling lengths, then averaging these distances. Rz averages only the five highest peaks and the five deepest valleys—therefore, extremes have a much greater influence on the final value.”
Ra is the arithmetical average value of all absolute distances of the roughness profile from the center line within the measuring length.
Rz is the average maximum peak to valley of five consecutive sampling lengths within the measuring length.
Ra averages all measurements and does not have any discriminating value in separating rejects from acceptable cylinders.”

During the production process of ceramic diamond grinding wheels, raw materials such as diamonds and binders need to strictly control humidity and temperature. Excessive humidity may cause raw materials to absorb moisture, affecting the bonding strength and hardness of the grinding wheel; while excessive temperature may cause volatilization or unstable quality of certain materials, thus affecting the overall performance of the grinding wheel.
Single crystal diamond cutting tools are high-performance tools made from single crystal diamond, known for their exceptional hardness, wear resistance, and thermal conductivity.Effective grinding methods include using diamond grinding wheels, laser grinding, and mechanical grinding with cast iron or steel discs, each with its own advantages and requirements. Moresuperhard offers various solutions and consumables for grinding single crystal diamond tools, ensuring efficient production and high-quality results.
