Study and comparison of two polishing methods for platinum–iridium surfaces, by means of three characterization techniques

Machining the surface of mass standards is still of great importance. This paper details a comparative study of the roughness of two plane surfaces of a platinum–iridium alloy (90% of platinum and 10% of iridium). Using the BIPM processes, the surfaces were initially machined on a lathe using diamon...
