Measurement of Wear Resistance of Super Thin Nanostructured Coatings
Along with thickness, roughness, hardness and adhesion, wear resistance is one of the major mechanical characteristics of modern coatings. Reduction in thickness of coatings to units and dozens of nanometers significantly complicates the task of correct definition of their physicomechanical characteristics. A complex approach to research of thin films can give comprehensive information about their properties. The work proposes a method to measure wear resistance of protective coatings with the help of scanning nano hardness meter "NanoScan-3D".
