CSM Instruments Scratch Testers

CSM Instruments Scratch Testers are dedicated instruments for characterizing the surface mechanical properties of thin films and coatings, e.g. adhesion, fracture and deformation. The scratch tester's ability to characterize the film-substrate system and to quantify parameters such as friction force and adhesive strength, using a variety of complementary methods, makes it an invaluable tool for research, development and quality control. Scratch testers span:

• Nano Scratch Tester (10uN - 1N)
• Micro Scratch Tester (30mN - 30N)
• Revetest (1N - 200N)
• Revetest Xpress (1N - 200N)
