Application note: Improving tool bits and ultra-hard coatings using the inVia™ microscope
Learn how Raman microscopy can evaluate material quality when manufacturing tool bits and ultra-hard coatings. Raman imaging can determine the uniformity of coatings like polycrystalline diamond (PCD) or TiN/TiO2. You can also use Raman spectroscopy to measure stress and crystallinity within coatings, as an indicator of hardness and flexural strength.
