Surface Topography Characterisation
Richard Leach
This chapter discusses the field of surface topography characterisation, i.e. the analysis of the measurement data from surface topography measuring instrumentation. The field is introduced with a brief history. Profile and areal characterisation are both covered in detail including the basic concepts, filtering methods and surface texture parameters. In the areal case, both field and feature parameters are discussed, along with fractal methods. The still-evolving international specification standards infrastructure is covered in detail.
