Abrasion test design of transparent coatings

Problem

The customer needs to determine the abrasion resistance of a clear coating on a clear substrate.

Objective

Design an abrasion test and measurement method to compare the resistance of coatings.

ATRIA Solution

Various abrasion methods were designed taking into account the geometry of the pieces and the available equipment. Devices capable of measuring the thickness of transparent coatings on transparent substrates with nanometer precision were found.
