Fifty years of Óbuda University in surface roughness measurement
Keywords:
surface roughness, waviness, microtopography, microgeometry, surface featuresAbstract
The history of surface roughness measurement dates back only a few decades. In the past 50 years of this period, the legal predecessor of Óbuda University, the current Bánki Donát Faculty of Mechanical and Safety Engineering (“Bánki”), has played an active role. The measurements and research conducted here laid the foundation for the establishment of a professional workshop that has produced numerous industrial specialists, researchers with PhD degrees, and professional results recognized both domestically and internationally. This work reviews and summarizes the milestones of the development of this field in international life and at Bánki.
