TEC STAR is able to provide a complete analysis service of surfaces and coatings of materials (conductors, ceramics, plastics, etc.), thanks to our internal laboratory and collaborations with universities and public and/or private research institutions in Italy, such as for example the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia and CNR and abroad; using our technical instruments we can characterize: - Chemical composition: determination of chemical elements and their concentration (qualitative and quantitative analysis); - Morphology and possible crystallographic structure of coatings and materials; - Mechanics: surface hardness, scratch resistance, adhesion of coatings, tribological behavior (friction and wear).
