Abstract:
In this paper, the influence of occurrence of surface texture features on the values of surface topography parameters calculated after the application of various data processing techniques was presented. Different types of surface topographies were considered, as follows: cylinder liners, some with additionally burnished dimples, turned, ground, milled, laser-textured, composite, ceramic, or isotropic in general. The effects of feature size on the areal form removal, noise suppressions, or end-effect reducing in surface texture measurements were studied. The variations of the ISO 25178 standard surface topography parameters were taken into consideration in detail. It was assumed that some of the feature sizes, distributions, and densities have a substantial impact on the values of surface topography parameters calculated after applications of regular (commonly used) algorithms and procedures, defined as basic operations, provided for raw surface texture data obtained directly from the measurement process. In the end, some of the practical applications for receiving the relevant values of surface topography parameters were proposed.
