Abstract
One of the most influential effects of the dressing process is that this process conditions the surface finish of the final part. In fact, due to the transversal dressing process, some periodical helical patterns appear on the surface of the ground parts. The presence of these marks can lead to a negative impact on the performance of certain sealing applications. One of the most outstanding applications are the rotating shafts where the radial seals are mounted, where it is essential to guarantee sealing performance and extend the seal life as long as possible. To do this, it is essential to measure the surface of the ground part and to characterize its helical patterns appropriately. In this article, in addition to a thorough review of the usual methods currently used, the measurement of surfaced surfaces and a methodology for the characterization of dressing-lead developing at IK4-Ideko will be reported.
