RMA(RA) Stand for Root Mean Square(Roughness Average), it is a term used to measure the roughness of a surface,RMS 63 is a smooth surface finish, RMS 125 is an average manufacturing surface, RMS 25 is a very clean smooth surface finish.

You can add surface finish symbols to a drawing using standard surface finish symbols available in the /symbols/surffins directory, or you can create and save your own surface finish symbols.Creo Parametric reflects drawing surface finishes only in the drawing.

Finishing processes may be employed to: improve appearance, adhesion or wettability, solderability, corrosion resistance, tarnish resistance, chemical resistance, wear resistance, hardness, modify electrical conductivity, remove burrs and other surface flaws, and control the surface friction.

0.8 ?m Ra. Considered high grade, this surface finish requires very close control to produce, costing more. It is required for parts that are exposed to stress concentration. When the motion is occasional and the loads are light, then it can be used for bearings.

Ra is calculated as the Roughness Average of a surfaces measured microscopic peaks and valleys....That means you: Measure height across the microscopic peaks and valleys. Calculate the SQUARE of each measurement value. Calculate the MEAN (or average) of those numbers (squared). Find the square ROOT of that number.

Ra is the average roughness of a surface. Rz is the difference between the tallest ?peak? and the deepest ?valley? in the surface.

? The mean arithmetical value ?Ra? in ?m is assumed for roughness measurements. Surface Texture is the variation in the surface in the form of roughness, waviness, lay, and flaws.
