• Chrome coatings
• Surface bearing area
• Surface roughness
• Multidimensional vector method

Using basic surface values, a method to appreciate the properties of the chrome coating bearing with hemispherical surface structure was developed. Due to the manufacturing process of tailored chrome coatings which enables adjustable surface topography, an effective surface evaluation tool seemed to be necessary. Four main types of chrome coatings were used for this study. By using a scanning electron microscope, the materials underwent first an optical investigation. The bearing area diagrams were obtained from the roughness profiles, measured for each type of chrome coating. By using the multidimensional vector method, an effective value of the bearing area was calculated. This enables a direct comparison between the four types of coating
