Coatings

Coating Testing

Important Metals like Aluminium, Copper, Iron, and Zinc are inherently unstable and exhibit corrosion due to various exposure conditions. To prevent corrosion, these metals are coated to prevent corrosion or easthetic appearance.

Lucid is in a position test various coatings such as:

  • Gold
  • Silver
  • Chromium
  • Nickel
  • Lead
  • Tin
  • Ceramic
  • Polymer
  • Electro-deposition thickness
  • Carburized case depth
  • Nitride case depth
  • Galvanized mass/coating thickness
  • Paint coatings
  • Plasma/D-Gun coated thickness
