Cover Story: Identifying the relevant scale for observing process influence is crucial in multiscale characterization. This study evaluates methods to determine a relevant scale for the relationship between relative areas and grit blasting pressure. Various media types and calculation methods are tested, along with bootstrapping approaches for scale determination. The study highlights the advantages of relative area over traditional parameters and discusses the impact of media types on surface topography. The findings suggest a pertinent scale of 10,000 µm² for the Patchwork method and a 120 µm cut-off length for the Sdr method.This research enhances the understanding of how media types and blasting pressures affect surface topography, providing insights for material processing and surface treatment. View this paper
