Measurement of Topography of Surfaces Created by Various Technological Processes

The main aim of the course is to provide a basic idea of measuring the topography of surface created by various technological processes. Understanding the principles of measuring the surface topography will enable the rational use of all possibilities of application of instruments and devices developed for studying the surface topography. Knowledge of the influence of technological process on the surface topography is very important to production increase at keeping the required quality of products, which is the goal of each technology. The course focuses on surface generation, its importance in various technologies, evaluation of surface topography, surface topography check by various methods (mechanical, optical, and others), and concentrates on contactless methods of surface topography detection.
