The annual two-day Surface Roughness, Texture, and Tribology short course offers a unique opportunity to learn the fundamentals of surface roughness and tribology and how they relate to friction, wear, noise, sealing, and appearance, in manufacturing and product development.
Course topics include:
- Measuring surface texture
- Filtering texture data into roughness and waviness
- Analysis techniques and tools
- Surface texture parameters
- Specifying surface texture
- Applying texture analysis to wear, vibration, and other functions
- Coating adhesion and appearance
- Noise and vibration
- Dry friction and rolling friction
- Fundamentals of lubrication
- Surface metrology strategy
