Surface MicroTexture Short Course
May 14th, 2008
7:30 am - 5:00 pm

This intensive short course will focus on the various aspects of surface texture analysis and how surface texture relates to the intended component function with presentations on the following related topics:

bullet

 Intro to surface texture …why is it important?

bullet

 Instruments for measuring surface texture (stylus, optical, AFM…)

bullet

Filtering of surface texture measurements (2RC, Gaussian…)

bullet

Surface texture parameters (Ra, Rpk, Sa, Ssc.)

bullet

Wear (scoring, scuffing, galling, wear volume, wear depth…)

bullet

Friction (how does surface texture relate to friction?)

bullet

Correlation between non-contact and contacting systems

bullet

Data analysis (T-Test, F-Test, principle components, regression…)

bullet

Specifying surface texture (symbology)

bullet

Summary - ”Surface Metrology Strategy” (project approach)

This short course is also available on-site.  Please contact Michigan metrology, LLC for additional information.  A complete B & W copy and CD (with color PowerPoint) of all presentation material will be provided to the attendees.  Depending on the time and interest, certain presentation modules may be eliminated or substituted.
