5. Surface roughness - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_roughness

   Roughness plays an important role in determining how a real object will interact with its environment. In tribology, rough surfaces usually wear more quickly and have higher friction coefficients than smooth surfaces. Roughness is often a good predictor of the performance of a mechanical component, since irregularities on the surface may form ...

6. Surface metrology - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_metrology

   Focus variation: This method delivers color information, can measure on steep flanks and can measure on very rough surfaces. The disadvantage is that this method can not measure on surfaces with a very smooth surface roughness like a silicon wafer. The main application is metal (machined parts and tools), plastic or paper samples.
