Here are examples of materials we tested this month:

Mechanical:

• Nanoindentation & scratch of thin sapphire coatings
• Nanoindentation of DLC coatings
• Nano scratch of thin teflon coatings
• Microindentation yield strength of micro aluminum parts
• Macro scratch of firearm parts

3D Non-Contact Profilometry:

• Roughness of transparent films
• Texture consistency of laser etch
• Step height of carbon nano tube coatings
• Coplanarity of ball grid arrays
• Medical staples curvature measurement

Tribology:

• Wear rate of wear resistant tooling
• Lubricated linear wear resistance of thin coatings
