Quantitative characterisation of surface finishes on stainless steel sheet using 3D surface topography analysis
… characterise the developed surface topography of finishes on stainless steel sheet using three-dimensional surface analysis techniques. At present surface topography is measured using (mainly) stylus profilometry and analysed with 2D parameters, such as Ra, Rq and Rz. These 2D …

The use of 3D surface analysis techniques to investigate the wear of matt surface finish femoral stems in total hip replacement
… parametric characterisation and also volume analysis. Initial findings suggested that the wear of matt finish femoral stems differs to that of smoother polished femoral stems. Studies also provide information regarding the nature of bone cement, its behaviour and the interaction between stem …

Coated and Uncoated Nickel-Titanium Archwires: Mechanical Property and Surface Topography Response to a Simulated Oral Environment with and without Bracket-Related Load Deflection Induced Stress
… (SEM) to provide a qualitative surface topography analysis. Results of the present study showed that no significant differences (p > 0.05) in unloading force were present in wires exposed to bracket-related load deflection. However, significant differences were observed between coated …

The Development of an Accelerated Testing Facility for the Study of Deposits in Land-Based Gas Turbine Engines
… convection and conduction were assessed. Surface topography analysis indicated that the surface structure of the generated deposits were similar to those found on actual turbine blades. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) and x-ray spectroscopy analyses indicated that the deposit microstructures …

Parametric Modeling, Analysis, Classification, and Optimization of the Laser Polishing Process with Respect to the Working Distance
Laser polishing (LP) is a finishing technique used to enhance the quality of the workpiece surface. LP relies on laser radiation to melt a thin superficial layer of material in order to either smoothen the surface or generate structures on it. The process of surface smoothening is achieved via …
