Elemtrack Handheld coating tester

Industrial applications will undergo different degrees of corrosion when used in the atmosphere, seawater, soil and building materials, and the application of metal coatings for specific purposes is one of the most effective means to prevent environmental corrosion, so it is widely used in the fields of automobiles, construction, home appliances, chemicals, machinery, petroleum, metallurgy, light industry, transportation, electric power, aviation and marine engineering. Metal plating can be divided into electroplating and electroless plating according to the process. The material can be treated with plating to improve its functional characteristics and prolong its expected service life. How to control the thickness of the plating layer within the established specification range is the key to the quality control process of metal surface treatment and electroplating workshop.

Elemtrack handheld XRF coating thickness gauge can accurately measure without damaging the appearance or integrity of the coating. The analysis technology used can provide analysis results in a short time and is suitable for electronic components, Hardware products, fasteners, power system connectors, zinc-nickel alloy coatings, ceramic coatings, decorative coatings and other fields.



 

Main application fields

• Hardware Industry

Hardware products are various metal devices made of iron, steel, aluminum and other metals through forging, calendering, cutting, and other physical processing. Due to the different functions and environments used, the surface treatment methods of hardware products will be different.

Protective coating: such as galvanizing, etc;

Protection-decorative coating: such as nickel plating, chrome plating, copper plating, etc;

Functional coatings: such as tin plating, silver plating, hard chromium plating, etc.

• Fastener industry

Fastener refers to a general term for a class of mechanical parts used when two or more parts (or components) are fastened and connected into a whole. It is generally made into standard parts. Common fasteners include bolts, studs, screws, nuts and their assemblies such as washers, retaining rings, pins, rivets, etc. It is the most widely used mechanical basic parts.

Common types of parts, the common surface treatment methods include galvanizing, zinc nickel and dacromet. Alitec XRF analyzer can be used for various coatings and composition tests in fastener production inspection.

• Power industry

The conductive contacts of the conductive circuit of the power system and the static contact of the bus are plated with a layer of silver. The thickness of the silver plating layer directly affects the conductivity, reliability and operating life of the disconnector contact. In order to ensure that the silver plating layer of the contact remains effective within the specified opening and closing times, the relevant specifications require that the thickness of the silver plating layer at the dynamic contact part of the indoor conductive circuit should not be less than 8 μm, the thickness of the silver plating layer at the dynamic contact part of the outdoor conductive circuit should not be less than 20 μm, and the thickness of the silver plating layer at the static contact part of the bus bar should not be less than 8 μm. Alitec handheld coating thickness gauge can be used to measure the coating thickness of various power contact terminals.

Electroless nickel plating is a method of using electroless nickel plating solution to obtain a layer of Ni-P alloy coating on a plated part with a catalytic surface by redox reaction without electricity. Electroless nickel plating has the characteristics of strong corrosion resistance, good wear resistance, high gloss, high surface hardness, good uniformity, high process technology, strong adaptability, and high temperature resistance. Therefore, it is widely used in electronic components, machining, mold, automobile industry and other industries.

Elemtrack's handheld coating thickness gauge can accurately distinguish electroplating nickel from chemical nickel under normal tests, and is especially suitable for film thickness measurement in scenarios such as chemical coating process inspection and product acceptance of large components.
