Fundamentals of Scratch Testing

This webinar is an overview of Instrumented Scratch testing for both new and experienced operators. It describes the properties measured by scratch testing, as well as the insights these provide at all stages of research, development, and production.

How to set up and optimize a scratch test is also discussed. This includes heuristics for optimizing test parameters, basic data interpretation, and how to manage common issues.

At the end of this webinar, attendees will understand…
•  Why we use scratch testing to assess materials
•  How to set up a scratch test and interpret results
•  Common heuristics for test parameter selection
