(Michigan Metrology: Livonia, MI) -- Michigan Metrology, experts in solving problems related to surface roughness, wear, texture and finish, is making available three tools to aid the understanding of surface roughness measurement and the proper use of surface texture parameters.

Surface finish/friction/wear short course

On April 29–30, 2015, Michigan Metrology’s Donald Cohen, Ph.D., will be leading a two-day short course on surface finish, friction in Livonia, Michigan. Cohen is one of the country’s foremost experts in surface roughness and its effects. The course’s topics will include:
• Roughness, waviness, and form
• Instruments for measuring texture
• Filtering surface texture measurements
• Surface texture parameters
• Wear
• Friction
• Sealing
• Surface energy
• Data analysis
• Specifying surface texture

The workshop is designed for scientists, engineers, and technicians working in the fields of automotive, aerospace, materials, polymers, and others. More information is available at www.michmet.com/classes.htm.
