We carry out comprehensive analysis of coating structure on flat and complex-shaped parts. Characterisation methods include

• TEM microstructure and texture analysis
• precision cross sectioning with Focused Ion Beam
• surface morphology by AFM
• stress and texture analysis by XRD and Curvature methods
• UV Raman analysis

Coating microstructure characterisation is key in accelerating product development. It supports product development as a link between process and product performance. Quality control and failure modes can be studied.
