Coating characterisation and analysis
Test equipment includes:
CSEM Tribotest:
Computer controlled pin-on-desk tribometer is capable of applying loads of 1, 2, 5 or 10N at rotation speedsup to 420rpm.
CSM High Temperature Tribotest:
Computer controlled pin-on-desk tribometer can perform tests with the help of a heated sample holder. The machine can perform the pin on disk test at a controlled sample temperature between room temperature and 800°C.
CSM High Temperature Vacuum Tribometer:
Computer controlledpin-on-desk tribometer can perform tests under vacuum up to 10-7 Torr as well as in temperature ranges from room temperature to 800°C.
CSM Nanohardness Tester and AFM:
The nanoindenteter can be used to charaterise surfaces and thin films / coatings by indenting with low loads; typically in the range of 1 to 500 mN.
CSEM Revetest Scratch Tester:
A scratch test is used to characterise adhesion between coating and substrate. The instrument can apply forces in the range 1 to 200N at different scratch velocities to test adhesion and cohesion of hard coatings.
CSEM Calowear Tester:
The apparatus is capable of conducting abrasive wear tests and can also be used to measure coating thicknesses between 0.3 to 30 micrometers by an abrasive ball-cratering technique.
CemeCon Impact Tester:
The impact tester inforporates a novel testing method suited to evaluate coatings and materials under dynamic load conditions similar to those experienced by metal cutting/milling tools.
Mitutoyo MVK H2 Microhardness Tester:
Instrument is designed to test film hardness by Knoop or Vickers indentation with a loading range of 1 to 1000kgf (9.8 N). Hardness is measured by pushing a Knoop diamond indenter into a coating and the measuring the impression with the help of a digital microscope.
Rockwell Diamond Indentor:
This instrument can be used to measure hardness. It also can be used to examine coating adhesion according to the Daimler-Benz methodology.
Dektack 150 Profilometer:
This stylus profilometer from VEECO instruments is capable of profiling surfaces at nanoscale.
Minolta CM508D Colorimeter:
The spectrophotometer is capable of measuring surface colour to all international standards with or without inclusion of the specular component.
