The resultant plots of indentation versus temperature or time can be used to characterize coatings by measuring softening points, thermal expansion coefficients, indentation hardness, elastic modulus, and creep and its recovery.
To employ it, a laser speckle sensor was combined with a furnace (called Laser Speckle Dilatometer LSBD) to measure thermal strains and thermal expansion coefficients of thin metallization layers.
Linear Thermal Expansion Coefficient Also for the measurements of the thermal expansion coefficient a DMA (Q800 by TA Instruments) apparatus was adopted.
