Plating thickness is the most crucial part of our business, we've installed FischerScope X-Ray Analyser to maintain accuracy for Plating Thickness Testing ( for metals like Silver, 24k Gold, Electroless Nickel, Tin, Copper, etc), the XRF is also used for chemical titration.

The cross hatch test is a visual comparison method for coating up to a thickness of 70m which is fast and easy to use. The coating is cut into small squares, thereby reducing lateral bonding, and the coating adhesion assessed against ISO 2409 and ASTM D 3359 or Corporate Standards

Thermal shock testing also called temperature shock testing or temperature cycling exposes plating layers to alternating low and high air temperatures to accelerate failures caused by repeated temperature variations during normal use conditions.

Sodium Sulphide is an enemy to silver and makes it turn black faster,

Sodium Sulphide Test is used to check if the anti tarnish done on silver plating is good enough to protect it.

The bend test is a simple and inexpensive qualitative test that can be used to evaluate both the ductility and soundness of coating.

It is often used as a quality control test for Pins & Sockets.

ASTM D4541 is a standard test method that is used in order to evaluate the pull-off strength of air barrier membranes. This is a useful test when used to evaluate air barrier installations and set minimum standards to verify product performance and field installations under real conditions
