Description

The nano scratch tester is particularly suited for the characterization of the practical adhesion failure of thin films and coatings, with a typical thickness below 1000 nm. It can be used in the analysis of organic and inorganic coatings, as well as soft and hard coatings.

Elastic and plastic deformation measurements

Scratch resistance evaluation

Multicycle scratch testing for fatigue, wear and adhesion measurements

Wear testing capabilities with monitoring of normal force applied and resultant friction force
