Coating & Plating Analysis
Coating and plating deficiencies can include improper thicknesses, poor adhesion, inhomogeneous application, and more.
Coating and plating deficiencies can include improper thicknesses, poor adhesion, inhomogeneous application, and more.
The analysis will vary depending on the type of coating or plating problem.
It is helpful to have a "good" sample (a sample that hasn't been exposed to service conditions) and a "bad" sample (a sample that is experiencing the problem being investigated).
The samples will likely have to be reduced in size for microscopic analysis. Cleaning and/ or surface preparation may also be necessary.
If customized coating testing is required, then the amount of sample needed will be discussed beforehand.
