○:つるつるである。
△:手で撫でたときに引っ掛かりはないが、ややザラツキ感がある。
×:手で撫でたとき、抵抗を感じる。
(1)積層痕の除去
実施例1、2、4、6は○評価であり、実施例3及び5は△評価であった。△評価は実用レベルでは問題とならない程度の評価の低下であるので、表1における条件1~3の範囲においては、積層痕を良好に除去できることが分かった。特に、条件1の方が積層痕の除去には有利であることが示唆された。
実施例3、4、5は○評価であり、実施例1、2、6は△評価であった。△評価は実用レベルでは問題とならない程度の評価の低下であるので、表1における条件1~3の範囲においては、ワークに光沢性が得られることが分かった。特に、条件2の方が光沢性の向上には有利であることが示唆された。
実施例4、5、6は○評価であり、実施例1、3、4は△評価であった。△評価は実用レベルでは問題とならない程度の評価の低下であるので、表1における条件1~3の範囲においては、ワークに光沢性が得られることが分かった。特に、条件3の方が平滑性の向上には有利であることが示唆された。更に、第2の噴射材により表面処理を行った実施例7、8はいずれも○評価となったので、第2の噴射材による表面処理は、ワーク表面の平滑性の向上に有効であることが示唆された。
