Concrete, rock and core samples all have an important characteristic in common, their surface roughness and or topography can play a vital role in applied use and or an explanation to fracture and interaction. For example, concrete surface roughness can play a crucial role in the bonding to applied substrates, during geologic studies a rock surface can provide answers to important fault shifts and the study of core sample surfaces can provide clues to fluid mechanics. Many of these measurements require portable instrumentation

In this application note, the Nanovea HS1000 (we have shown the newer HS2000 below) is used to measure two different types of solar material (photovoltaic material and glass) and calculate their respective surface roughness, surface features and wafer bow. The shape of trace lines on the photovoltaic material will also be measured.

In this application note the Nanovea ST400 Profilometer is used to measure the surface of a corrosion pitted stainless steel coupon. The area measured was selected at random, and assumed large enough in that it could be extrapolated to make assumptions about a much larger surface. Density, area, volume, size and shape will be used here to quantify the level of corrosion.

Drywall texture and roughness is critical in the final products quality and appearance. A better understanding of the effect of surface texture and consistency on the moisture resistance of the coated drywall allows selecting the finest product and optimizing the painting technique to obtain the best result.

In this application note it will be explained how the Nanovea Micro Module Tester has been designed to offer the world’s leading instrumented indentation and scratch testing. Now capable of testing from loads of 0.03N up to 200N or even 400N on one tool combined with a highly accurate and repeatable stage.

We must simulate the process of scratching in a controlled and monitored manner to observe sample behaviour effects. In this application note, the Nanovea Mechanical Tester in its nano scratch testing mode is used to measure the load required to cause failure of two different commonly used thin film materials, Aluminium (Al) and Silicon Nitrite (SiN), on glass. Each sample has a 200 nm coating on 3 mm thick glass.

Nanoindentation has become a widely applied technique for measuring mechanical behaviours of materials at small scales. The high-resolution load-displacement curves from the nanoindentation measurement can provide a variety of physicomechanical properties including hardness, Young’s modulus, creeping, fracture toughness and many others.
