On nanotopographic parameters of engineering surface and its profile

Abstract

Amplitude and spacing parameters of engineering surfaces nanotopography and some their correlations have been considered in comparison with similar parameters and correlations on a microscale level (microroughness). It is shown that on a nanoscale level theoretical and empirical relations characterizing a surface topography on a microscale level hold true.
