Micro Scratch Tester (30mN - 30N)

Micro ScratchMicro Scratch

The Micro Scratch Tester is widely used to characterize the practical adhesion failure of thin films and coatings, with a typical thickness below 5 µm. The Micro Scratch Tester is also used in the analysis of organic and inorganic soft and hard coatings. Examples are thin and multilayer PVD, CVD, PECVD, photoresist, paints lacquers, and many other types of films, covering optical, micro-electronic, protective, decorative and other applications. Substrates can be hard or soft, including metal alloys, semiconductors, glass, refractive and organic materials.
