Abstract
Surface roughness is of great importance in the manufacturing industry, as it affects surfaces’ tribological properties (wear, friction, lubrication, etc.), corrosion resistance, fatigue strength and appearance. Areal roughness measurement, which provides a more comprehensive characterization of surfaces, is becoming increasingly popular, but systematic studies are still lacking, so measurements are often analyzed differently. In this paper, the effect of the measurement length is analyzed in the main measurement direction on areal roughness of face milled surface topographies, which were measured with a confocal chromatic sensor.
Highlights
One of the main quality factors of the machined surfaces of the parts is the surface roughness, as it influences their tribological properties, their corrosion resistance, fatigue strength and their appearance
The surfaces were compared in the measured areas with a F-operator to separate the shape and with an L-filter to filter out the waviness, and the resulting 600×600 μm2 roughness topographies were analyzed with the Sa and Sq parameter values
It was previously found that among cutting data the feed rate has the greatest influence on roughness [11], which is why we examine the roughness for the measurement length at several feeds
Summary
One of the main quality factors of the machined surfaces of the parts is the surface roughness, as it influences their tribological properties (wear, friction, lubrication, etc.), their corrosion resistance, fatigue strength and their appearance. The surfaces were compared in the measured areas with a F-operator to separate the shape and with an L-filter to filter out the waviness, and the resulting 600×600 μm2 roughness topographies were analyzed with the Sa and Sq parameter values.
