Fischer Meet More Challenging Microhardness and Nanohardness Testing Needs

A coating thickness of only a few micrometers or even only a few tens or hundreds of nanometers is gaining in importance due to its excellent properties. A hard material coating of TiN, TiC or Diamond Like Carbon (DLC) with 1 to 4 micrometer thickness is already common for tools and engine components.

As part of Helmut Fischer GmbH and specialists in coating thickness, material analysis and hardness testing, Fischer Instrumentation GB Ltd have continued to optimise the Fischer HM 2000 microhardness testing instrument to meet the demands of laboratories, transportation and other manufacturing industry.

Highly complex coating systems in the nanometer range have been developed over the past years to achieve scratch-resistant, soil-resistant, antistatic, reflecting or storage capable surfaces and the determination of the coating thickness and other technological properties of such coatings becomes essential for their optimisation.

Fischer Instrumentation GB Ltd, in answer to the sophisticated demands of nanotechnology, have developed the Picoindentor, a nanohardness testing system that measures the thinnest of nanometer coatings, with a price/performance ratio difficult to match.
