Thickness determination of anodized deposits and electrodeposits by Vickers indentation technique

Abstract

Electrodeposit thickness is of prime importance and a test is therefore almost invariably included in specifications. Knowledge of the precise thickness of electrodeposits and anodized deposits is essential in corrosion, abrasion, and wear studies. In the literature there are numerouS proposed methodsl-l4 for determining electrodeposit thickness, which are neither simple nor rapid compared with the method described here
