Surface integrity is the inherent or enhanced condition surface condition of a workpiece after being modified by a manufacturing process. Surface integrity can have a great impact on a part\u2019s function and is therefore of great interest when designing parts and associated manufacturing processes.\u00a0Surface integrity includes properties such as:\u00a0Surface texture (topography);\u00a0Chemical composition;\u00a0Microstructure;\u00a0Hardness;\u00a0Residual stress;\u00a0Crystallographic texture.\u00a0These properties are \u2018on-surface\u2019 or \u2018sub-surface\u2019 and can change as a function of distance to the surface.\u00a0Of special interest to this Special Issue are (non-exhaustive and non-exclusive list):\u00a0Contributions linking on-surface properties (e.g., surface texture) to sub-surface properties (e.g., material deformation or residual stresses);\u00a0Contributions dealing with surface integrity from a product specification, or tolerancing, perspective;\u00a0Contributions relating surface integrity properties to functional performance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"template":"","format":"standard","topic":[472,212,694,128,616,617,481,604,693],"country":[55],"nsj_language":[57],"class_list":["post-1789","call_for_papers","type-call_for_papers","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","topic-life-cycle-assessment","topic-manufacturing-machinery","topic-manufacturing-process","topic-materials-engineering","topic-performance-evaluation","topic-performance-based-design","topic-process-management","topic-process-modeling-and-simulation","topic-stress-test","country-switzerland","nsj_language-english"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
