In the field of metal housing CNC machining, surface integrity is a crucial quality indicator, which is directly related to the performance, reliability and service life of the product. However, how to quantitatively evaluate the surface integrity of metal housing after CNC machining is a complex and meticulous process.Surface integrity covers many aspects, including surface geometric features, physical properties and microstructure. In terms of geometric features, we mainly focus on parameters such as surface roughness, waviness, and flatness. These parameters can be quantified by precision measuring instruments, such as surface profilers, optical microscopes, etc. Through measurement, we can get the specific values of the surface to evaluate whether it meets the design requirements.In terms of physical properties, we mainly focus on the hardness, residual stress, wear resistance, etc. of the surface. Hardness can be measured by a hardness tester, and residual stress can be detected by equipment such as X-ray diffractometers. These physical performance parameters directly reflect the mechanical properties of metal housing after CNC machining, which have an important impact on the reliability and service life of the product.In terms of microstructure, we mainly focus on the grain size, phase composition, dislocation density, etc. of the surface. These microstructural features can be observed and analyzed by advanced instruments such as scanning electron microscope (SEM) and transmission electron microscope (TEM). Through the analysis of microstructure, we can deeply understand the impact of CNC machining on metal housing materials, and then optimize the machining process and improve the surface integrity.To quantitatively evaluate the surface integrity of metal housing after CNC machining, it is necessary to use a variety of measurement and analysis methods. In actual operation, we usually choose appropriate measuring instruments and analysis methods according to the specific requirements and machining process of the product. At the same time, in order to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the evaluation results, we also need to calibrate and maintain the measuring instruments regularly to ensure that they are in good working condition.In addition to quantitative evaluation, we also need to conduct a comprehensive analysis and judgment of the evaluation results. For example, when the parameters such as surface roughness, hardness and residual stress meet the design requirements, we can assume that the surface integrity of the metal housing is good. However, if a parameter is abnormal or does not meet the requirements, we need to analyze the reasons in depth and take corresponding improvement measures.In summary, quantitative evaluation of the surface integrity of metal housing after CNC machining is a complex and meticulous process. It requires the comprehensive use of a variety of measurement and analysis methods to comprehensively evaluate the geometric characteristics, physical properties and microstructure of the surface. At the same time, we also need to comprehensively analyze and judge the evaluation results to ensure that the quality and performance of the product meet the design requirements. With the continuous development and improvement of CNC machining technology, I believe that more and more advanced evaluation methods and means will be applied to the CNC machining field of metal housing in the future.
