Surface finish affects how a part will fit, reflect light, transmit heat, wear, distribute lubrication, accept coatings and more. The right finish should ultimately be determined by the part’s function and the engineering requirements of the application.

Researching how different materials influence brake pad performance and durability involves a vast amount of back-and-forth testing and metrology analysis.

Michigan Metrology’s Don Cohen, Ph.D., will lead the two-day short course.

Height gages are a general purpose tool, which can be used in a variety of industries and applications by anyone who needs to measure precision parts.
