Measure thickness of coating film on Zinc Plating Steel

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on methods to measure the thickness of organic coatings on zinc-plated steel without causing damage. Participants recommend using magnetic devices, such as those mentioned in the Quality Magazine article, which detail various non-destructive testing methods for coating thickness measurement. Additionally, ultrasound devices, like the Extech CG204, are suggested for accurately measuring both the organic coating and the zinc plating layer beneath it.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of non-destructive testing (NDT) methods
  • Familiarity with coating thickness measurement techniques
  • Knowledge of magnetic and ultrasound measurement devices
  • Basic principles of zinc plating and its applications
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the operation and specifications of magnetic coating thickness gauges
  • Explore the functionality of ultrasound devices for coating measurement
  • Study the methods outlined in the Quality Magazine article on coating thickness measurement
  • Investigate the Extech CG204 device and its applications in industrial settings
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for quality control engineers, materials scientists, and professionals involved in coatings and surface treatments on metal substrates.

Hi All,

I'm searching for the possible method to determine organic coating thickness cover on steel tole was plated by thin zinc layer. Additionally, I also want to measure thickness zinc plating layer in between these layers (coating on top & steel on bottom) without destructing them.
Please kindly advice me a possible device to do this and How does this device work ?

Nice weekend!,
