Surface engineering is distinguished from the broader field of materials science by its specific research scope, focused on protecting, improving the quality, or enhancing the durability of surface and near-surface structures. Surface quality is usually the first element of finished products evaluated by consumers .…

Surface engineering is one of the most extensive industries. Virtually all areas of the economy benefit from the achievements of surface engineering. Surface quality affects the quality of finished products as well as the quality of manufactured parts. It affects both functional qualities and esthetics. Surface quality…

Through surface engineering techniques-such as machining, texturing, hardening, and coatings -we have learned to control surface properties and effectively influence tribological phenomena. This includes reducing friction in situations where energy losses are undesirable, or increasing it when higher traction is…

In the quality control of engineering surfaces, we aim to understand and maintain a good relationship between the manufacturing process and surface function. This is achieved by controlling the surface texture. The control process involves: 1) learning the functional parameters and their control values through…

Materials science is about understanding the relationship between a material’s structure and its properties-in the sphere of mechanical behavior, this includes elastic modulus, yield strength, and other bulk properties. We show in this issue that, analogously, a material’s surface structure governs its surface…

'Rafal Reizer' 'Alejandro Pereira'] The primary goal of this Special Issue was to present recent trends in surface inspection and description, from both metrological and tribological points of view. Various research problems dedicated to surfaces in different scales were discussed. An important part of that were the…

The development of novel materials with excellent wear resistance and anti-friction properties has become a prominent focus of research. The design and fabrication of such materials is expected to make a significant contribution to energy conservation; they may reduce energy losses caused by friction and wear by…

Surface topography has a profound influence on the function of a surface. In industrial practice, the geometric product specification is an important issue in multiple applications [1,2]. The measurement and characterization of the geometric features of machined parts are important when trying to determine the…

'Jing Wang' 'Shikuan Yang'] Surface microtexture, as a branch of surface engineering, has always been an active research object due to its ability to significantly improve matrix properties. Especially by combining surface microtextures with biomimetics, the concept of surface microtextures has been greatly expanded.…

Surface topography affects the functional properties of machined surfaces. To assess these effects, special parameters were developed. Among them, the hybrid parameters rms. slope Sdq and the developed interfacial areal ratio Sdr are of high significance. However, these parameters are interrelated. Sdr can be estimated…

Surface metrology finds application to many branches of engineering ranging from optical surfaces to roadways. This triennial conference, held for the first time outside of England, traditionally attracts delegates with diverse interests from many countries. This year, in addition to the delegates from the United…

'Christopher A. Brown' 'Maxence Bigerelle'] Surface gradient characterization by light reflectance (SGCLR) is used for the first time for multiscale curvature calculations and discrimination of worn surfaces on six damaged ceramic-metal composites. Measurements are made using reflectance transformation imaging (RTI).…
