Coating characterization of silicon carbides

One silicon carbide coated specimen is submitted. Clemex Vision PE is chosen to identify each layer and measure the coating thickness.

PURPOSE

Demonstrate the ability of the Clemex Vision image analysis system to perform the coating analysis on samples containing three coatings. The methods and operations used are discussed in the report linked at the bottom of this page (click the Download PDF link below).

RESULTS

Measurements are performed on measuring lines to obtain a distribution of the coating thickness. Final results can be printed directly from Clemex Vision. Raw data are linked to their respective objects for validation purpose. Raw data can also be exported in Excel format.
