Table 3

Amplitude parameters used in the study to assess surface roughness.

ParametersDescription

Arithmetic mean deviation within the sample surface area
Root mean square deviation within the sample surface area
Maximum peak height or the maximum height of the profile above the mean line within the assessment surface area
Maximum valley depth or the maximum depth of the valley below the mean line within the assessment area
