The high performance of industrial applications, requires increasingly technical functional surfaces, particulary from the point of view of topography and microtexture. To study the effect of abrasive finishing in a wide range of wavelengths of surface topography, we developed a multi-scale approach, based on the decomposition of surface topography by 2D continuous wavelet transform. This new approach made it possible to determine the multi-scale transfer function of machining by abrasion for each stage of finishing. The methodology can be extended to characterize abrasive wear in a wide range of scales.
