DUAL FUNCTION – SURFACE METROLOGY

D. J. Whitehouse

Abstract

The role of surface metrology with respect to manufacture and performance is explained. How the rule has changed over the years and how it is likely to develop is discussed. It is shown how the classification of workpiece performance is related to surface typology and manufacturing control.
