Coating Adhesion Anton Paar cratch Testers

Scratch Test Principles Anton Paar scratch testers (previously from CSM Instruments) are ideal instruments for characterizing the surface mechanical properties of thin films and coatings, e.g. adhesion, fracture and deformation. These instruments can be used for all kinds of industrial coatings, from the plasma-processed layers used in semiconductor and optical technology to the decorative and protective coatings used for consumer goods and automobile parts. progressive load. At a certain load the coating will start to fail. Critical loads are very precisely detected by means of the...
