Michigan Metrology to host surface roughness, texture and tribology class/workshop

Michigan Metrology will host a live, in-person, 2 1/2-day class and workshop in surface texture, friction, and wear. This event will be held in Livonia, Michigan on May 4–6, 2022. The class will include both lectures and hands-on equipment demonstrations, to help students expand their understanding of surface roughness concepts and applications.

The class will offer a deep dive into course topics including:

• Measuring roughness and waviness
• Surface measurement instruments
• How to correctly set filters for texture measurements
• Data analysis techniques and tools
• Surface texture parameters
• How to specify surface texture
• How surface texture relates to wear, sealing, and other functionality
• Surface energy, adhesion and texture, paint appearance
• Mechanics of dry friction and rolling friction
• Fundamentals of lubrication
• Surface metrology strategy
