Ultrasonic Method to Measure Thickness ultrasonic instruments with a graphical LCD illustrate substrate roughness by displaying wide "peaks" when the substrate is rough and narrow "peaks" when it is smooth. This type of display helps in measuring coating systems in which the number of layers is ... Read More

What is Eddy Current Technique? The most common use of eddy current measurement is for non-conductive coatings over non-ferrous metals such as anodize or paint over aluminum. This technique allows for an accurate reading with even very thin materials through elimination of the base effect. How eddy ... Read More

Differential Interference Contrast (DIC), also known as Nomarski Contrast, helps to visualize small height differences on the specimen surface, thus enhancing feature contrast. DIC uses a Wollaston prism together with a polarizer and analyzer whose transmission axes are perpendicular (crossed at 90°... Read More

The Difference Between Brightfield and Barkfield Brightfield (BF) illumination is the most common illumination technique for metallographic analysis. In incident BF, the light path comes from the light source, passes through the objective lens, is reflected off the surface of the specimen, returns ... Read More

Rockwell Indentation Spacing The hardness of the material immediately surrounding a previously made indentation will usually increase due to the induced residual stress and work hardening caused by the indentation process. If a new indentation is made in this affected material, the measured hardness ... Read More

The Vickers hardness test method consists of indenting the test material with a diamond indenter, in the form of a right pyramid with a square base and an angle of 136 degrees between opposite faces subjected to a load of 1 to 100 kgf. The full load is normally applied for 10 to 15 seconds. The two ... Read More
