It is a significant and efficient way to predict the functional performance of an engineering product by characterising its surface. As the extraction and evaluation of surfaces features not only relies on analysis algorithms but also measurement techniques, most of surface characterisation software systems are embedded in the measurement instruments. At present, even though a series of Geometrical Product Specification (GPS) standards are released to guide the procedure of surface characterisation, there are no software systems give a fully support of them. As a consequence, evaluation results from different systems are incomparable, even worse, conflict with each other. Surface characterisation system needs to be updated constantly with the emergence of new algorithms and methods. However, the lack of good extensibility, reusability and maintainability is a serious obstacle to the innovation of existing surface characterisation systems. As functional modules in current surface characterisation systems are tightly coupled together, it is not conducive to the reuse of function modules and innovation of overall system. A lot of redundant and duplicate works have been raised in either enhancing present characterisation systems or building a new characterisation system. To improve the reusability of function modules and facilitate system extension, this research aims to establish a flexible surface characterisation system with an open architecture. By employing component based development technologies, the overall characterisation system is constructed by gluing various functional components together instead of being created from scratch. Each analysis algorithm or method is implemented as an independent functional component, which is separated from the system framework. And also it can be easily reused by other characterisation systems as an executable chunk. Any system functional components can be developed or maintained independently by different organisation as long as they comply with predefined protocols (interfaces). This thesis proposed a novel surface characterisation system, which can be reconfigured as end users‘ expectation at any time even when it has been installed and deployed already. Functional components can be added, removed or replaced dynamically without affecting other parts of the system. Furthermore, the system is flexible such that researchers and developers can concentrate on characterisation algorithms and methods themselves, and then develop their own functional components which can be easily added to this system. 1 Acknowledgements First of all, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to my supervisor, Prof. Xiangqian Jiang for setting up an appropriate research subject.

  • New 3D Parameters and Filtration Techniques for Surface Metrology, François Blateyron, Quality Magazine White Paper
    New 3D Parameters and Filtration Techniques for Surface Metrology François Blateyron, Director of R&D, Digital Surf, France For a long time surface metrology has been based upon contact measurement using 2D profilometers. Over the past twenty years the appearance of 3D profilometers and non-contact gauges has created a need for the standardization and formalization of the analysis of 3D surface texture. This paper presents the current status of the standardization process and includes a short description of the tools and parameters that will become available to users when work on the definition of the new standards, which is being carried out by working groups WG15 and WG16 of ISO technical committee TC213, has been completed. 1. Introduction meeting, and officially transferred to the TC213, in order to Since the first roughness meters appeared at the beginning start the standardization process. of the 1930s, the measurement of surface texture has always been based on 2D profilometry and contact gauges. 3. Towards a complete rework of all We had to wait until the beginning of the 1980s to see the surface texture standards appearance of instruments for measuring 3D surfaces, such In June 2002, the TC213 voted the creation of a new as white light interferometers and 3D profilometers working group [N499] and assigned it the task of [WHI94]. The first tools for analysing measurements developing future international standards for 3D surface generated by these instruments were developed by each texture. This group met for the first time in January 2003, in manufacturer, often extrapolating from existing tools for Cancun.

  • NIST SURFACE ROUGHNESS and STEP HEIGHT CALIBRATIONS, Measurement Conditions and Sources of Uncertainty T.V
    NIST SURFACE ROUGHNESS AND STEP HEIGHT CALIBRATIONS, Measurement Conditions and Sources of Uncertainty T.V. Vorburger, T. Brian Renegar, A.X. Zheng, J-F. Song, J.A. Soons, and R.M. Silver Parameters of surface roughness and step height are currently measured at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) by means of a computerized/stylus instrument. For roughness height parameters, we use a calibration ball as a master to calibrate the instrument to be employed during a measurement. Profiles of the calibrating master and the roughness sample under test are stored in a computer. For roughness spacing parameters, we use an interferometrically calibrated Standard Reference Material (SRM) to check the calibration of the drive-axis encoder of the stylus instrument. In measurement of roughness, surface profiles are taken with a lateral sampling interval of 0.125 m, typically over an evaluation length of 4 mm. Three parameters of the instrumentation are important in the specification of roughness measurements. These are the roughness filter long wavelength cutoff (λc), the roughness filter short wavelength cutoff (λs), and the stylus radius. The nominal filter cutoff λc is 0.8 mm, and the nominal filter cutoff λs is 2.5 m. These filter transmission characteristics are in accordance with the phase-correct Gaussian filter described in ASME B46.1-2009.[1] The stylus has a radius of 1.52 µm ± 0.15 µm (with a coverage factor k = 2), calibrated by measuring a standard wire with a calibrated radius and by the razor blade trace method[1-6]. An iterative computer algorithm[5,6] is used to calculate the effective radius from the razor blade trace method.

Measurement and characterization of the areal nature of the surface allows the manufacturer to alter how the surface interacts with surroundings. Surface metrology covers the questions related to surface measurements, its analysis, representation, and interpretation. Despite the long experience of surface measurements there are still a lot of open questions. One of question was listed in this thesis is: “Is there a universal analysis technique available for understanding and interpreting the properties of surface topography?” The simple answer is: There is no universal analysis technique. However, for a better understanding and interpretation of the properties of a surface, a combination of different techniques can be necessary. The use of Power Spectral Density (PSD) analysis in this thesis showed to be a powerful analysis tool for identification of the differences and equalities between different instruments measuring similar topographies.
