3D surface roughness measurement is still a less mature procedure than its 2D version. The size of the evaluation area is not as standardized as the measurement length in the 2D version. The purpose of this study is to introduce a method for minimizing the evaluated surface area. This could help industrial applications in minimizing the time and cost of measurements. Machining experiments (hard turning and infeed grinding) and surface roughness measurements were carried out for automotive industrial parts to demonstrate the introduced method. Some frequently used roughness parameters were analyzed. Basic statistical calculations were applied to analyze the relationship between the surface area and the roughness parameter values and regression analyses were applied to validate the results in case of the applied technological data. The main finding of the study is that minimum evaluation areas can be clearly designated and, depending on the different roughness parameter–procedure version, different evaluation sizes (Sa: 1.3 × 1.3 mm; Sq: 1.4 × 1.4 mm; Ssk and Sku: 2 × 2 m; Sp and Sv: 1.7 × 1.7 mm) are recommended.

Titanium alloy is used in medical industries due to its biocompatibility. Requirement of implant’s surface roughness and surface topography depends mainly upon its application. In the present study, application of titanium alloy is considered as femoral knee joint implant. The capability of magnetic field assisted finishing (MFAF) process and the polishing tool to provide implant worthy surface is analyzed here. In MFAF process, magnetorheological fluid mixed with abrasive powder in acidic base medium is used as the finishing medium. Characterization of the finished surface is carried out by analyzing 3D surface roughness parameters. The selected 3D surface parameters ( Sa, Spk, Sk and Svk) are considered due to their importance concerning load-bearing articulating surface of knee joint implant. Statistical design of experiment is used for experimental study and subsequently process parameters are optimized. From experimental investigation, the values of Sa, Spk, Sk and Svk are obtained as 11.32 nm, 15.82 nm, 6.51 nm and 41.15 nm, respectively, at optimum process parameter condition. The optimum process parameter values are 901 rpm of the tool, 0.60-mm working gap and 4.30 hrs of finishing time. The obtained values of 3D surface roughness parameters are in the nanometer range and the surface topography will render better wear properties, performance and longer implant life. Further confirmation experiments support the optimized values. The effect of individual process parameter on output responses is also analyzed.

This work performed molecular dynamic simulations to study the 2D profile and 3D surface topography in the nanometric cutting process. The least square mean method was used to model the evaluation criteria for the surface roughness at the nanometric scale. The result showed that the cutting speed was the most important factor influencing the spacing between the peaks, the sharpness of the peaks, and the randomness of the profile. The plastic deformation degree of the machined surface at the nanometric scale was significantly influenced by the cutting speed and depth of cut. The 2D and 3D surface roughness parameters exhibited a similar variation tendency, and the parameters Ra and Rq tended to increase gradually with an increase in the cutting speed and a decrease in the depth of cut. Finally, it is concluded that at the nanometric scale, the 3D surface roughness parameters could more accurately reflect the real surface characteristics than the 2D parameters.

Abstract The authors of the research have analysed spacing parameters of anisotropic 3D surface roughness crosswise to machining (friction) traces RSm1 and lengthwise to machining (friction) traces RSm2. The main issue arises from the RSm2 values being limited by values of sampling length l in the measuring devices; however, on many occasions RSm2 values can exceed l values. Therefore, the mean spacing values of profile irregularities in the longitudinal direction in many cases are not reliable and they should be determined by another method. Theoretically, it is proved that anisotropic surface roughness anisotropy coefficient c=RSm1/RSm2 equals texture aspect ratio Str, which is determined by surface texture standard EN ISO 25178-2. This allows using parameter Str to determine mean spacing of profile irregularities and estimate roughness anisotropy.

To explore the effects of roughness on the tactile properties of rice straw particleboard (RSP), the surface roughness and psychological tactile and visual experiments were conducted for RSP substrates with 0.76 g/cm3 and 0.55 g/cm3 densities after sanding with sandpaper (mesh 180#, 360#, and 600#). The effects of different sandpaper types, sanding time, and density of RSP on the surface roughness were analyzed. The experimental results are as follows. The sanding treatment had significant influence on the surface roughness characterization parameters Ra and Rpv of the RSP specimens. Surface roughness differences between the 180# and 360# mesh-prepared samples were obvious. The tactile and visual psychological values of the 360# and 600# mesh-sanded specimens were higher, and the psychological quantities of untreated and 180# mesh-sanded specimens were lower. After comparing the samples with sanding treatment of sandpaper 0∼180#, the change in surface roughness of RSP with a density of 0.76 g/cm3 was smaller than that of the specimen with a density of 0.55 g/cm3. The psychological quantity difference of RSP specimens with a density of 0.55 g/cm3 was evident. When the sanding time was 1 min., the values of the roughness characterization parameters Ra and Rpv increased slightly. After 3 min. sanding, the Ra and Rpv values stabilized. When the sanding time was 5 min, the roughness was essentially unchanged. With the change in sanding time, the measured values of the tactile psychological quantity varied greatly and the measured values of the visual psychology were very close. For the RSP substrates with higher density, the surface roughness was less after sanding with a smoother surface and better tactile properties. There were significant differences between the surface roughness of the RSPs before and after sanding. After manual sanding over the same time span, the surface roughness evaluation parameter values decreased with an increase of mesh size of the sandpaper, and the tactile properties were improved. The longer the sanding time, the smaller the difference in the surface roughness parameter values, and the smaller the difference between the tactile psychological quantity and the visual psychological quantity. To expand the research scope of RSP products, this study investigates not only the physical and chemical properties but also the subjective feelings when using the RSP products. This will provide analytical methods and design guidelines for the consideration of environmental factors in furniture and interior design.
