Fischer TechnologyBooth #324The concentration of phosphorous significantly influences the mechani-cal and magnetic properties of elec-troless nickel (Ni-P) coatings. Meas-urement of the phosphorous content has been an issue ever since Ni-P was first introduced for technical applica-tions. FISCHERSCOPE® X-Rays, with high-resolution silicon drift
detectors (SDD), can directly meas-ure the fluorescence signal of phos-phorous — as long as the excitation conditions are selected correctly. Because measuring Ni-P coating thickness is performed under differ-ent excitation conditions than deter-mination of the concentration of P, these two measuring applications complement each other. The combi-nation of state-of-the-art detector technology such as SDD, multiple excitations in various modes, and the powerful analysis software, WinFTM®, allows for accurate and reliable measurements of both coat-ing thickness and phosphorous con-tent of electroless nickel coatings on a wide variety of substrate materials. The FISCHERSCOPE® X-RAY XDV®-SDD unites all these perform-ance features in one instrument. Visit www.fischer-technology.com.
