Abstract

Surface roughness is a measure of the technological quality of a product and a factor that greatly influences manufacturing costs. In this study, an experimental study on the surface roughness of rocks sawn by sawblades was presented. In the study, major mineralogical properties of the rock affecting surface roughness were investigated. The results showed that among the mineralogical properties; mean grain size of the rock was ranked first in governing surface roughness.
