Surface roughness & Its measurement

Surface Roughness

• Roughness: The irregularities in the surface texture which


result from the inherent action of the production process.
These are deemed to include traverse feed marks and the
irregularities within them.
Surface Roughness Mesurement
Sampling Length: It is the
length of the profile
necessary for the
evaluation of the
irregularities to be taken
into account .
It is also know as ‘cut off’
length.
Methods for checking Surface Roughness
Tomlinson Surface Meter

Recording drum fitted


with smoked glass .
Vertical movement
coupled with horizontal
movement traces the
profile. The smoked glass
traces roughness at 50x
to 100x.
To obtain permanent
record of the profile a
piece of photographic is
fastened to the screen
and exposed to projected
light
Taylor – Hobson , Talysurf

Talysurf is an electronic device works on


carrier modulating principle.
More rapid and accurate
Diamond stylus = 0.002mm tip radius
Skid or shoe = 25 mm radius
Motorised unit gives speed 20x to 200x along
with horizontal and vertical magnification.
AB & AC coils along with other two forms
oscillator
Armature carrying stylus is pivoted at
central lug .any movement of stylus
causes gap to vary thus the amplitude of
AC current flowing is modulated
Talysurf
The output of bridge thus
consist of modulation as .
Amplified & demodulated
So that current is directly
proportional to the
vertical displacement of
the stylus.
Pen recorder – permanent
record , marking medium
is electric discharge on
special treated paper
Blackening at the point of
stylus , hence no distortion
due to drag
Record is rectilinear.
Indication of Surface Roughness
• The value or values defining the principal
criterion of
• roughness are added to the symbols

• a- surface roughness
value
Roughness a Roughness a Roughness a shall
obtained by any obtained by be obtained without
production process removal of material removal of any
by machining material

If it is necessary to impose maximum


and minimum limits of the principal
criterion of surface roughness, both values
shall be shown
maxim
um
If it is required that the required surface texture be produced by one
particular production method, this method shall be indicated in plain
language on an extension of the longer arm of the symbol
