Popis: Previous assessments of the surfaces of machined components have failed to identify an underlying form to the texture and hence no method of completely characterizing a wide range of such surfaces has been devised. In this paper, the reason for this failure is shown to be the current standard practice of confining analysis to the shorter wavelengths of the texture. The extension of analysis so as to include the longer wavelengths permits the derivation of a complete description of the surface texture of machined components drawn from a large sample population and production processes. In addition, this approach enables surface texture to be fully described by only two parameters, both of which are defined so as to be easily understood in terms of present methods of analysis.
