Popis: The importance of the application of surface topographic parameters is discussed and their relevance to production processes and tribology is examined. It is shown that of the surfaces which require specification more than 90% are subsequently used in tribological situations. Both amplitude distribution and spatial approaches to surface specification are described and their relative usefulness discussed. Relocation techniques are considered and a novel wear rig is described in which the associated problems are minimised. Experimental results are presented showing significant statistical parameters which highlight the topographical changes occurring during running-in.
