Key concepts in tribology have often been discovered by trial and error…then made more broadly useful through rigorous work that uncovers the broader understanding. Such is the case of material

Years ago, I’d just completed one of my first major surface roughness measurement projects, and I was considering my next steps to form an actual business. I thought that I

We’ve updated the Michigan Metrology website to give our visitors a better experience. All of the helpful content that you’ve come to expect is still here—the Surface Texture Parameters Glossary,

As you may know, our Surface Roughness, Texture and Tribology course has been available as ten individual modules for online learning at udemy.com. We have had quite a few requests

Most quality professionals working with surface texture/roughness are well familiar with “R” parameters, such as Ra (average roughness). These widely used parameters are derived from 2-dimensional measurements, typically generated by
