The phrase "achieving a surface" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts related to reaching a certain level or condition, often in artistic, scientific, or technical discussions.
Example: "The artist focused on achieving a surface that reflected the complexity of human emotions."
Alternatives: "reaching a surface" or "attaining a surface".
We achieved a surface quality approaching the atomic limit by further applying a series of oxidation and HF-etching steps15 (see Methods and Supplementary Information).
This Nautilus, propelled by two 50-horsepower electric motors operated from a 100-cell storage battery, achieved a surface speed of six knots (nautical miles per hour; one knot equals 1.15 statute miles per hour or 1.85 kilometres per hour).
In 2008, a 2.2 m × 2.2 m planar membrane antenna was developed and achieved a surface flatness of 0.17 mm.
In 2002, Pellegrino [29] from the University of Cambridge, developed an elastic ribs driven membrane antenna with a diameter of 1.5 m, which achieved a surface accuracy of 2.0 mm RMS, as shown in Figure 4.
Triton generated 45000 hp on sea trials, reaching her design surface speed of 27 kn, and achieved a surface speed well in excess of 30 kn. Triton subsequently executed a four-hour, full-power submerged run and a crash-back maneuver.
Under these conditions, we also achieved a surface roughness of 0.58 nm RMS (see Figure S4d).
We balanced the ligaments and resected approximately 10 mm of tibial bone to achieve a surface that was perpendicular to the shaft of the tibia in the coronal plane with 7° posterior slope in the sagittal plane.
Far from equilibrium conditions for dissolution were established in all the experiments in order to achieve a surface-reaction controlled mechanism.
In traditional profile polishing, the profiling reference is a polishing tool or abrasive particles, which move along the surface to be machined and remove materials in a uniform manner, achieving a processed surface.
