Surface roughness influences many mechanical properties, including friction and adhesion, surface reactivity, semiconductor substrate quality, and surface interaction with electromagnetic waves, ...

Surface roughness refers to the fine texture of a part’s surface. Every manufactured part’s surface has three main components—form, waviness, and roughness—that influence how well a part performs. The ...

Straight edges, good. Wavy edges, bad. This simple description holds true whether you are painting the living room or manufacturing nanoscale circuit features. In a technical paper* published in June, ...

The W55 Roughness Measurement System is intended to work on a production line, measuring and archiving roughness, profile, and waviness, as well as part dimensions. The device can also continuously ...
