Non-destructive X-Ray Thickness Testing (XRF) in DFW. Precise plating validation for aerospace & defense specs. Detailed reporting and certification since 1966.
X-Ray Thickness Testing
Our facility utilizes the XRF5500, a premier non-destructive coating thickness gauge engineered for high-precision metrology. By leveraging the advanced principles of X-ray Fluorescence (XRF), this system provides a sophisticated solution for verifying surface integrity without compromising the physical properties of the sample.
Key Capabilities & Advantages
Non-Destructive Testing (NDT): Unlike traditional cross-sectioning or chemical stripping methods, the XRF5500 measures thickness without damaging the part, allowing for 100% inspection rates and the preservation of high-value components.
Micro-Spot Analysis: The system is equipped with high-performance optics capable of measuring extremely small areas. This makes it ideal for intricate geometries, electronic connectors, and micro-components that larger sensors simply cannot reach.
Rapid Throughput: The XRF5500 is designed for speed. It delivers stable, repeatable results in seconds, streamlining quality control workflows and minimizing production downtime.
High-Accuracy Metrology: With its superior detector technology, the unit offers a high degree of predictive accuracy, ensuring that even thin-film layers meet the most stringent industry tolerances and safety standards.
Non-Contact Measurement: Because the sensor never touches the sample, there is no risk of surface deformation, scratching, or contamination—a critical requirement for delicate finishes and medical-grade applications.
Applications
The XRF5500 is versatile enough to analyze a wide array of coatings, including gold, silver, nickel, and chrome over various substrates. Whether used for regulatory compliance, corrosion resistance verification, or precious metal optimization, it serves as a cornerstone of our quality assurance protocol.
