What will I learn?
The Materials Characterization Course gives you practical skills to evaluate thin coatings and surfaces with confidence. Learn nanoindentation, microhardness, scratch and wear testing, then connect structure and properties of PVD hard coatings. Master XRD, electron microscopy, surface spectroscopies, and electrochemical corrosion methods so you can generate reliable data, interpret results correctly, and optimize coated materials faster.
