Surface MicroTexture Short Course
Next Class: TBD.
Classes are available on-site and customized to your needs. Contact us for more information.
View Don Cohen's ASME B46.1 Standards Presentation 2011.
Don Cohen's short course classes are an excellent means to learn the basics and intricacies of surface texture analysis.
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:
Intro to surface texture …why
is it important?
Instruments for surface roughness measurement (stylus, optical, AFM…)
Filtering of surface texture measurements (2RC, Gaussian…)
Surface
texture parameters (Sa, Spk, Ssc, etc.)
Wear (scoring, scuffing, galling, wear volume, wear depth…)
Friction
(how does surface texture relate to friction?)
Sealing (gaskets, O-rings, lip seals, piston rings…)
Surface
energy/surface texture
Correlation
between non-contact and contacting systems
Data analysis (T-Test, F-Test, principle components, regression…)
Specifying
surface texture (symbology)
Summary - ”Surface Metrology Strategy” (project
approach)
A complete B & W copy and CD with 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.
A full day class including consultation at your site is available and offered in the Detroit Area throughout the year.
