摘要

The evaluation of surface roughness is of great importance for manufacturing industries as the roughness of a surface has a considerable influence on its quality and the function of products. For surface roughness evaluation, to find an appropriate reference line is of the utmost importance. A smooth grey reference line obtained by grey dynamic filtering is proposed to evaluate surface roughness. The primary sampling data of the measured surface need not obey the typical distributions and the surface profile with less data can also be evaluated without losing primary data. Through sample analysis, the grey reference line is well consistent with ISO Gaussian reference line and their evaluation results for surface roughness are in agreement. The grey reference line can be used as one of complements for Gaussian reference line.
