Application the 3D Image Analysis Techniques for Assessment the Quality of Material Surface Layer before and after Laser Treatment

Abstract

In the paper authors presented the application of specific method of assessment chosen properties of coating layer, that give additional information strictly connected with its tribology properties. Nanotomography techniques and 3D image processing gives quantitative and qualitative information about the testing sample, with no negative effects on the exanimating layer. Two samples, one with and one without the laser treatment were tested, measured and obtained results presented and discussed. Those preliminary research shown that proposed method can be recommended to application as a supplementary test of the properties coating layers and for verification of technological process parameters on the stage of working out the production process.
