2D AND 3D APPROACH TO MEASURING ROUGHNESS PARAMETERS

D. Indof, S. Mahovic

Abstract

Contrary to the previous requirement to only monitor the changes, the need to understand the nature of the surface structure is more and more emphasised nowadays. There is already the possibility for 3D measurements, to a great extent owing to the development of electronics and computers. The contribution of this paper is in the analysis of the assessment of roughness using classical roughness parameters applied to 3D surfaces and an attempt to define the new parameters that would provide a more complete assessment of roughness with relation to the functional requirements met by the surface.
