Studies on Measurement of Wheel Surface Topography (5th Report)

Measurement of surface topography of magnetic tapes by Mirau interferometry.

Stylus-profiling techniques cannot be used for surface characterization of polymeric surfaces, such as magnetic tapes, because of their relatively low hardness An interferometric-optical-profiling microscope system was used to obtain high-accuracy surface profiles of magnetic media, rapidly and without physical contact with the sample. The profilometer consists of a conventional, reflection-typ...

Surface Topography Influences on Structural Life Prediction

Topography describes the complex form of a surface--the undulations which make up its character. Topography comes in all shapes and forms; what is true for the surface of our planet is also true for the surfaces of engineered structures. If you have ever driven across the Flint Hills in south-eastern Kansas, you probably recognize that the only indicator you have that you are climbing a hill is...

Afm Studies on Surface Morphology, Topography and Texture of Nanostructured Zinc Aluminum Oxide Thin Films

Zinc Aluminum Oxide (ZAO) thin films were deposited on glass substrates by DC reactive magnetron sputtering technique with high purity Zn and Al targets. After the deposition, the films were annealed in vacuum from 200 to 500 C. Surface roughness measurement of ZAO thin films in the nanometer scale can be accurately determined using the atomic force microscopy. Surface roughness and grain size ...
