exemplification in Fig. 4 are presented the graphics (drawn from point to point)<br />

of roughness evolution drawn for brass specimens oriented at 0 0 and 60 0 to the<br />

lamination direction. Thus, we can easily see that both graphs shows two zones<br />

of inflection, suggesting that at a certain level of specimen’s deformation<br />

roughness indicate a pronounced variation.<br />

A b<br />

Fig. 4 – Roughness evolution depen<strong>din</strong>g on elongation:<br />

a – brass specimens 0 0 ; b – brass specimens 60 0 .<br />

In the first phase of deformation the roughness remain relatively constant<br />

then, when the specimen elongation reaches around 35%...40% of maximum,<br />

Ra parameter register a rapid growth. After the first inflection point the surface<br />

roughness do not show a significant increase but it increases again sharply in<br />

the vicinity of the failure zone. Accor<strong>din</strong>g to the results analysis it seems that<br />

roughness value increases by 100%, near the area where break occurs, from the<br />

initial value read from specimen surface.<br />

In all studied cases the mathematical relationship between surface<br />

roughness, of the specimens subjected to tensile testing, and elongation can be<br />

described by an exponential equation<br />

ax<br />

y = be . (1)<br />

In Fig. 5 a it is presented, for exemplification, the regression function,<br />

that describes the phenomenon studied, for steel specimens orientated at 30 0<br />

from rolling direction. It is noted that the coefficient of determination (R 2 )<br />

represents a measure of the quality of predictions about future dependent values<br />

and in almost each studied cases this coefficient was above 0.8 which confirms<br />

the validity of the model.<br />

Also, in Fig. 5 b are presented, for comparative purposes, the roughness<br />

evolution graphs for each of the six orientations to the lamination direction,<br />

determined for steel specimens. By analysing the graph it can be concluded that<br />

the lamination direction can influence the surface roughness but not in a<br />

significant way.
