LAwave User Meeting

LAwave technology is used for fast and non-destructive mechanical characterization of coatings and surfaces. It can be used for wafer processing, PVD and CVD coatings, as well with thermal spray coatings, laser cladding and Additive Manufacturing. Applications are found in research and development, quality control of coating processes and in academic research.

The LAwave User Meeting is a virtual meeting that for the first time will bring together experts from the coating and material science community that are already benefitting from the LAwave technology and those who are interested in it. Scientific work and various applications will be presented and questions and requirements regarding the instrument are discussed. 

Best Practice and Development

• Method overview, sensor concepts, typical applications
• Performing optimum measurements
• Current software and hardware developments 
   

Applications

• Elastic properties of thin films
• Mechanical properties of carbon-based films
• Refractory metal films
• Polymer coatings
• Thick coatings from thermal spraying and laser cladding
   

Dates

Two meetings with identical contributions will be held to accommodate the world-wide user community.
