The REVETEST® Scratch Testing instrument is globally regarded as the paradigm system for characterizing hard-coated materials, with a typical coating thickness of several microns. Coatings may be organic or inorganic, covering Tribological, magnetic and decorative applications, i.e. PVD, CVD, PECVD, metallization and passivation layers, friction and wear protective coatings. Substrates include metals, alloys, semiconductors, glass, minerals, refractive and organic materials.
CSM Instruments is the world leader in Scratch testing with more than 1000 Revetests sold worldwide.
