This equation computes the surface finish component of the Fatigue Strength for a material. 

In this case the Surface Factor, ka is associated with types of Surface Finishes.  The Surface Factor is a function of factor, a, in MPa, and and exponent, b, estimated for different surface finishes.  The chosen surface finish is an input choice as shown in the following table.

Surface Finish Factor (MPa) Exponent b
Ground 1.58 -0.085
Machined or CD 4.51 -0.265
Hot rolled 57.7 -.0718
As forged 272.0 -0.995
