Application of Focus-Variation Technique in the Analysis of Ceramic Chips

Abstract:

The paper presents the method of a microscopic study of ceramic chips which can be useful in the analysis of physical phenomena regarding machining of ceramic materials. The analyzed chips were obtained on the milling machine tool from the Al2O3 based ceramic material. The measurements were performed using focus-variation technique (FVT). The InfiniteFocus Real3D microscope from Alicona Imaging company was applied. The paper mainly focuses on the methodology of measurements and the application of microscope’s software tools which can be used in the analysis of chips' 3D scans. The conditions of measurement process are discussed on the basis of the results of exemplary measurements of ceramic chips.
