Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsDiamond Pressing on the Wear Resistance and the State of Heat Treated Alloy Steel SurfacesUbeidulla Al-QawabehaIn manufacturing processes, surfaces and their properties are as important as the bulk properties of the materials. Surface treatment is an important aspect of all manufacturing processes. It has been used to impart certain physical and mechanical properties, such as appearance, corrosion, friction, wear and fatigue resistance. Widely used methods of finishing treatment that create necessary parts with the given … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2007 · 7,099 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNew (Digital) Technique for Areal Measurements of Stonewall Surface RoughnessMary J. ThornbushThis study revisits a method introduced in the 1990 s that was deployed to measure surface roughness through profiles on rock blocks. Measurements were originally taken directly in the field using a micro-roughness meter or a simple profile gauge. The roughness index was obtained in the "deviograms" method utilizing the standard deviation of differences between 38 adjacent height measurements. The … …Current Research in Geoscience, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 14 Jan 2015 · 6,857 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordAbrasive Jet Polishing and its Applications in Surface FinishingZhaoze Li, Jianmin Wang, Xiaoqiang Peng et al.Problem statement: Single Point Diamond Turning (SPDT) is highly deterministic and versatile in producing various forms of precise optics. A typical example is the production of large off-axis aspheric mirrors and various infrared mirrors and mandrels. However, the fine periodical turning marks left in the surface critically limit its performance and they are difficult to be avoided for traditional polishing … …Current Research in Nanotechnology, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 26 Jul 2011 · 13,587 accessesView PDFCite
