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..

Active accounts were imported to the new platform and assigned a random password by default. In order to access your account you need to access the login page and go through the Lost Password dialog (involves the system sending you an email with instructions) in order to reset your password. This step is necessary as passwords are kept in hashed form and the new platform uses modern hashing algorithms incompatible with the previous ones.
