Abstract

The paper contains a description of an ultrasonic method and stage for real contact area (RCA) measurement on steel flat parts with technological surface layer. The stage allows measurement of RCA of test surface in contact with a rigid flat counterface. The measurement can be taken during the process of surface deformation as well as for the surfaces already deformed.
