Automation of corrosion test evaluation

Solved cut by cut – new method for automatic cross-cut evaluation
by Franz Balluff, Dr. Jörg von Seggern, Fraunhofer IPA; Peter Gips, Schäfter + Kirchhoff GmbH

A new measurement method implemented in the Corrosion Inspector by Schäfter+ Kirchhoff for the automatic evaluation of coating properties is currently being investigated at Fraunhofer IPA. The method relies on the latest technologies for optical scanning and quantitative evaluation of changes in coated samples after subject to corrosion or mechanical stress during application tests.[more]
