Surface Roughness Testing

This surface roughness measurement and materials texture testing section provides an illustrative list of pieces of work LPD Lab Services has carried out.  Multiple links are provided to other areas of the website to help customers navigate.

• SEM to examine microscopic roughness of surface to evaluate friction characteristics.
• Surface roughness and microstructure correlation with liquid surface wetting and contact angle measurement.
• Evaluation of mechanical keying contributions to paint and coating adhesion related to delamination issues.
• SEM Stereo imaging of materials to see surface in 3D and measure Ra.
• Measurement of wear damage of material surfaces by optical microscopy and SEM
• SEM of microscopic roughness to investigate difficulties in product cleaning due to trapped volumes
