Characterisation and control of surface coatings
â– Optimising the manufacturing quality and control of protective surface coatings relies on the precise determination of the analytical, crystallographic, textural, structural, morphological, geometric and mechanical characteristics of coatings.
This survey contains a presentation of techniques used to characterise the surface of materials, thin layers, interfaces and thick coatings. Some functional tests are presented in relation with the application of thin coatings or layers in a given industrial sector or for a particular technology. Illustrated by several examples of analysis and characterisation, the data collected provide precious help for users seeking key information to choose the most relevant characterisation and control techniques for multi-purpose treatments and coatings subject to particular conditions of use.
