[Example] Cross-sectional observation of a car door handle cover.

Conducting magnified observation and elemental mapping using a scanning electron microscope (SEM)! Introducing examples of cross-sectional observation.

We present a case study where we created a cross-section to investigate the plating layer of a car door handle cover, followed by magnified observation and elemental mapping using a scanning electron microscope (SEM). For the plated section, we created a cross-section using ion milling and measured the thickness. The total plating thickness was found to be approximately 11-12 μm, with the thin outermost plating (chrome) measuring about 85 nm, and the second layer of plating underneath measuring about 850 nm. Additionally, the elemental mapping results confirmed that the substrate was a thick copper plating, with nickel plating applied on top of it, followed by chrome plating.
