[Contract Analysis and Testing Examples] The strength of paint and coating films is measured precisely.
The method involves commissioned analysis and testing, allowing the durability of multi-layered coatings to be measured in the MSE test as "layer strength" and "interface strength"!
The technology for painting and coating has evolved tremendously, and there is an abundance of information about materials and processes. However, I have heard that those involved in development and adoption are struggling to make choices due to the overwhelming amount of information. This method involves contract analysis and testing, and while it could be done independently, the challenge lies in selecting the testing methods that will yield the desired information. When it comes to mechanical properties (strength), one piece of information we want to know is the continuous strength and distribution from the surface of a multilayer film to the substrate (fabric). Another aspect is the dual nature of hardness and brittleness, which reflects scratch resistance and impact resistance. **What can be done with MSE testing:** - It allows for precise measurement of continuous strength distribution from the surface to the substrate. → Regardless of the number of layers, the individual strength of each layer and interfacial strength can be understood, providing a clear cross-sectional profile of how each layer connects in terms of strength. - It can highlight the characteristics of hardness (Young's modulus) and toughness (brittleness). Please try the MSE test, which offers a new perspective that changes conventional testing concepts. We promise to provide information that will greatly assist in development and selection.

basic information
【Purpose of Development】 The MSE test is a technology developed to measure the precise mechanical properties (strength domain) of material surfaces, originating from a collaboration between industry and academia with Fukui University. 【Technology】 Strength is measured using the phenomenon of precisely eroding (breaking) the test specimen by projecting a large number of fine particles. As a result, it has enabled the measurement of strength at various depths while eroding from the surface, creating a new effect of obtaining a continuous strength distribution from the surface to the interior. 【Information Obtained】 1. Erosion Profile Progress Chart A visualization of the changes in depth direction by overlaying data measured for each projection of the erosion marks. 2. Erosion Progress Graph A graph showing the relationship between the cumulative particle amount projected and depth, calculated from the shape profile of the erosion marks. 3. Erosion Rate Distribution Graph A graph that provides nearly continuous information on the erosion rate (strength) in the depth direction. 4. MSE Map Information created to quantify the strength of materials in terms of Young's modulus and brittleness mode for comparison and to confirm development trends. *Various testing examples of different materials are currently available. Please refer to the catalog for more information.
