Surface roughness is a measure of the texture of a surface, characterized by the vertical deviations of a real surface from its ideal form. It is crucial in determining the performance and longevity of mechanical components, affecting friction, wear, and the ability to form a tight seal.

Friction is the resistive force that occurs when two surfaces interact, impeding motion and resulting in the conversion of kinetic energy into thermal energy. It plays a crucial role in everyday life, influencing everything from the grip of tires on a road to the wear and tear of mechanical components.

Wear is the gradual removal or deformation of material at solid surfaces due to mechanical action, often leading to deterioration of the material or component. It is a critical factor in the lifespan and efficiency of mechanical systems, influencing maintenance schedules and design considerations.
