The use of autocorrelation functions and correlation lengths in surface texture investigation is considered. Approximate methods for evaluating correlation functions using random-process analysis are considered. Experimental data are also given. In particular, some important properties of the surface texture parameters, Sm and S, used in the approximate evaluation of the autocorrelation function, are considered.
