Electroless nickel plating is a commonly used surface treatment in which nickel metal is deposited on the surface of a substrate through a chemical reaction to form a uniform layer with good properties. To ensure the quality of the coating, scientific testing of the coating thickness is an essential step. In this paper, we will briefly introduce several common methods for testing the thickness of electroless nickel plating layers, and discuss the advantages of electroless nickel plating liquid Ni-809 in light of its characteristics.
Common methods for testing the thickness of electroless nickel plating
1. Optical microscopy method:
The optical microscope method utilizes a microscope to observe and measure the cross section of the plating and the substrate in order to accurately calculate the thickness of the plating. This method usually requires pre-treatment such as dividing and polishing the sample. Despite the cumbersome process, it has high measurement accuracy and is suitable for research experiments and quality inspection.
2. X-ray fluorescence spectrometry (XRF):
X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy is a non-destructive measurement technique that calculates the thickness of a coating by detecting the intensity of X-ray fluorescence emitted by the element nickel.The XRF method is fast and easy to use, and is well suited for on-line inspection. The method is able to accurately measure the coating thickness without destroying the sample.
