Ra vs Rz: What’s the Difference in Surface Finish?

Surface finish directly affects the performance, wear resistance, sealing ability, and service life of custom metal parts. When reviewing precision machining drawings, Ra vs Rz surface finish is a common comparison because these two values describe surface roughness in different ways. Understanding the difference helps engineers specify the right finish for each part and application.
