Abstract
Three distinct segments (segments of the constituent materials and joint area) underlie a bimetallic component. As a result, the surface of a bimetallic is highly complex compared to that of its monometallic counterpart. In this study, bimetallic specimens made of ductile cast iron and Aluminum alloy are turned using different cutting conditions. The surface profile data is obtained by using non-contact surface metrology equipment. The complexity of the surface finish is evaluated by conventional and unconventional parameters (fractal dimension, surface entropy, and possibility distribution). The effectiveness of these parameters is described in detail.
