Abstract Surface roughness is a critical parameter in machining, as it affects the corrosion resistance and fatigue properties of the finished workpiece. For difficult-to-machine materials such as Inconel-625, ensuring desired levels of surface roughness is even more challenging. Accurate surface roughness estimation for such expensive alloys can help in reducing material wastage and enhancing machining efficiency.
