Hard Coatings
Quality control of hard PVD and CVD coatings such as DLC, TiN, TiAlN, TiB2, and TiBN is mainly performed via determination of surface mechanical properties. We offer instruments to analyze properties like hardness, elastic modulus, adhesion, wear, scratch resistance, and coating thickness. From the perfect coating formulation to quality checks on incoming coated parts or final products, we’ve got you covered.
