Abstract
An experimental set-up elaborated for distance measurement with a use of a laser optical displacement sensor has been described. The features of the elaborated device allow to measure a surface roughness and dimensions of small details. Elaborated computer software allows automatically to estimate the classical surface roughness indices. The surface roughness indices can be estimated also for sloping planes. A solidification surface profile in macro and micro scale can also be measured. The mentioned solidification surface profile is measured on solidified shells obtained by using of so-called remove remainder test. Exemplary measurements of mould and casting surface roughness have been presented.

The modification process of AlSi21CuNi silumin and its effect on change of mechanical properties of the alloy
Due to difficulties present during machining operations and with segregation of crystals of primary silicon, hypereutectic silumins can be used after modification only. It is why elaboration of effective modification met...
Characteristic of intermetallic phases in cast dental CoCrMo alloy
Apart from chromium and molybdenum, casting alloys of cobalt usually contain also up to 0.35 % of carbon. With significant content of carbon, presence of carbide-forming alloying elements results in creating carbide phas...
