A comprehensive treatment of surface metrology, written around techniques and procedures in eight chapters: general philosophy of measurement; surface characterization the nature of surfaces and the signals obtained them; processing; instrumentation; traceability standardization variability; surface metrology in manufacture; surface geometry and its importance in function; and summary and conclusions. A major feature is the highlighting of the link between the surface geometry, the manufacturing process, and the machine tool. For doctoral students in a wide range of engineering fields, as well as for development, design, quality, machine tool, and process engineers. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
Written by the leading authority in the subject, Handbook of Surface Metrology covers every conceivable aspect of measuring and characterizing a surface. Focusing both on theory and practice, the book provides useful guidelines for the design of precision instruments and presents data on the functional importance of surfaces. It also clearly explains the essential theory relevant to surface metrology. The book defines most terms and parameters according to national and international standards. Many examples and illustrations are drawn from the esteemed author's large fund of groundbreaking research work. This unparalleled, all-encompassing "metrology bible" is beneficial for engineering postgraduate students and researchers involved in tribology, instrumentation, data processing, and metrology.
