Integrated Probabilistic Surface Roughness Assessment for Various Processing Methods

Abstract

The surface texture characteristics are specified by international standards, which include dozens of parameters, basically geometrical. The probability of filling the rough surface layer with a material from the reference line and through the layer thickness is proposed as a quantitative roughness assessment. It takes account of geometrical parameters, shape, height and frequency of surface irregularities. An example is given of studying a surface with processing defects, and a comparative analysis of surface treatment methods is presented. The calculation results are summarized in a table of probabilistic characteristics of surfaces for various processing methods.
