Overview

This Special Issue emphasizes the functional importance of topography in exhaustive surface exploration. Since the precision of small-scale surface data evaluation depends on the accuracy of the topography analysis, a comprehensive description of the measured roughness details influences the final rate of surface performances. The surface topography affects many material layer properties, from tribology, adhesion, and fatigue to some more sophisticated ones. Requirements from the industry also increase the accuracy in the surface evaluation with simultaneous decreasing of costs in the process control. Reducing the costs of qualified surface topography description processes enlarged the request from the detailed but fast methods of data measurement and study. Using sophisticated techniques involves mindful and skilled users. Therefore, the whole surface topography evaluation method relies on many factors. This Special Issue aims to provide some detailed information on how to be rewarded for false methods of surface topography inspection. A wide range of the presented surface topography results, including all of the chapters listed, might be classified as beneficial in many surface metrology issues addressed.
