Impact of analysis method on evaluation of ceramic mould surface microgeometry in the lost wax process

In this article two methods of ceramic mould surface microgeometry analysis were presented. First was a contact method, in which Profilometer S3P produced by Perthen Mahr was used. In second optical method optical profiler Veeco NT 9300 was used for surface microgeometry analysis. Evaluation of the results gathered with those methods was made. It was found that optical analysis method of surface microgeometry give better research possibilities (it’s more optimal).
