“…A mill roll surface is commonly made of high strength steel and may range from mirror bright to “mill finish” depending on the operation and product to be manufactured [ 35 ]. Certain manufacturing processes, such as laser texturing, may result in a more deterministic pattern, whereas others, such as electrical discharge texturing, result in a random topography [ 36 , 37 , 38 ]. In this work, an artificially created random isotropic surface, which can be generated following, e.g., [ 39 , 40 ], was used as the reference topography to represent a rigid rough tool.…”
