Session 21 of the KLA Instruments™ Indentation University covers the measurement of diamond-like carbon (DLC) coatings on silicon (Si) using the Scratch and Wear Test Method with the Nano Indenter® G200X.
About this Webinar
Session 21 first reviews general nanoindentation measurement and diamond-like carbon (DLC) coatings, then demonstrates sample preparation techniques.
A general introduction to scratch testing is provided, followed by a live demo of the Scratch and Wear Test Method, using DLC coatings as the sample. Results are analyzed, and the effect of changing the scratch velocity parameter is addressed using the Student’s T-Test statistical analysis.
Note: for Session 21, it is recommended to view the following Indentation University webinars as background for the discussion:
