Calculation Possibilities of 3D Parameters for Surfaces with Irregular Roughness

In the scientific research, calculations of roughness parameters are carried out, with the aim of comparing measured values of roughness parameters with the calculated ones by normal random field equations. First of all, roughness measurement experiments for surfaces with irregular roughness are carried out to determine the roughness parameters and the ordinate distribution histograms using modern measuring equipment Taylor Hobson Talysurf Intra 50. Using the obtained experimental data, Pearson criterion calculations are made in order to check the compliance of surface ordinate distribution function to normal Gaussian distribution law. The obtained results showed that for all investigated samples the surface ordinate distribution function complies with normal Gaussian distribution law. The next step is the calculation of several 3D roughness parameters (from the standard ISO 25178-2). According to the obtained results it is concluded that the calculated values of surface roughness parameters Sa, Sp, Spc, Sdq, Sdr are quite close to the values obtained by measuring equipment Taylor Hobson. The acquired formulas may be applicable for determination of 3D roughness parameters.
