Coatings

• Non-destructive coating thickness measurement by means of eddy current method (DIN EN ISO 2316) and magnetic inductive method (DIN EN ISO 2178). Thus, the thickness of non-magnetic coatings on steel and iron (Fe) as well as of non-conductive coatings on all metals can be measured. The measuring method allows a layer thickness determination in a measuring range of 0 - 2000 µm (Fe) or 0 - 1200 µm (metals). With a measuring stand, precise and pinpoint measurement is possible even on small samples.

• Preparation of a transverse section. The thickness of one or more layers can be determined using a microscope (EN ISO 1463) and / or scanning electron microscope (SEM).

• Topography & Roughness
• Chemistry: X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS)
• Hydrophilic vs. hydrophobic: contact angle measurements

Thickness of coatings (several µm):

• X-ray fluorescence (XRF)
• Spark emission spectrometry
• SEM-EDX on transverse sections
• XPS at oblique sections
• Infrared spectroscopy for organic coatings

Thin coatings (sub-µm):

• XPS, with depth profile if necessary

Multilayer systems:

• SEM-EDX at cross sections
• XPS at oblique sections

• EN ISO 1463
