Metallic coatings - Measurement of coating thickness - Profilometric method (ISO 4518:2021)
This document specifies a method for the measurement of metal coating thickness by first forming a
step between the surface of the coating and the surface of its substrate and then measuring the step
height using a profile recording instrument. It covers the instrumentation characteristics and the
procedure appropriate to this specific application of profilometric methods.
The method is applicable to the measurement of thicknesses of metal coatings from 0,01 μm to 1 000 μm
on flat surfaces and, if appropriate precautions are taken, on cylindrical surfaces. It is highly suitable
for the measurement of minute thicknesses but, for thicknesses of less than 0,01 μm, surface flatness
and surface smoothness are very critical and, accordingly, the method is not suitable for use down to
the lowest level of measurement usual for electronic stylus instruments. The method is suitable for
measuring coating thicknesses when preparing coating thickness reference standards.
Metallische Überzüge - Messen der Schichtdicke - Profilometrisches Verfahren (ISO 4518:2021)
zunächst eine Stufe zwischen der Oberfläche des Überzugs und der Oberfläche ihres Grundwerkstoffs gebildet und anschließend deren Höhe mit einem Profilaufzeichnungsgerät gemessen wird. Es behandelt die Eigenschaften der Einrichtung sowie die für die spezifische Anwendung der profilometrischen Verfahren geeignete Durchführung.
Das Verfahren ist auf die Schichtdickenmessung von metallischen Überzügen von 0,01 μm bis 1 000 μm auf ebenen Oberflächen und, bei Berücksichtigung geeigneter Maßnahmen, auf zylindrischen Oberflächen anwendbar. Es ist besonders zur Messung kleinster Dicken geeignet, bei Dicken von weniger als 0,01 μm sind die Einflüsse der Ebenheit und Glätte allerdings sehr kritisch. Daher ist es nicht empfehlenswert, das Verfahren im untersten Messbereich anzuwenden, der für elektronische Tastschnittgeräte üblich ist. Das Verfahren ist zur Schichtdickenmessung geeignet, die als Schichtdicken-Referenzproben vorbereitet werden.
Revêtements métalliques - Mesurage de l'épaisseur de revêtement - Méthode profilométrique (ISO 4518:2021)
Le présent document spécifie une méthode de mesure de l'épaisseur de revêtements métalliques consistant à former tout d'abord un gradin entre la surface du revêtement et la surface de son substrat, puis à mesurer la hauteur de ce gradin à l'aide d'un instrument à enregistreur de profil. Il indique les caractéristiques d'appareillage et le mode opératoire convenant à cette application particulière des méthodes profilométriques.
La méthode est applicable au mesurage de l'épaisseur de revêtements métalliques de 0,01 µm à 1 000 µm sur des surfaces planes et, en prenant les précautions appropriées, sur des surfaces cylindriques. Elle convient particulièrement au mesurage de très faibles épaisseurs; toutefois, pour les épaisseurs inférieures à 0,01 µm, pour lesquelles la planéité et le poli de la surface sont très critiques, il n'est pas approprié d'utiliser cette méthode au niveau minimal de mesurage habituel pour les instruments électroniques à palpeur. Cette méthode convient pour le mesurage des épaisseurs de revêtements lors de la fabrication d'étalons d'épaisseurs.

5 Instrumentation: Operational parameters and measurement characteristics
5.1 Types of profile recording instruments
Either of three types may be used:
a) contact stylus instruments, known as surface analysers and surface profile recorders, generally
used to measure surface roughness but which, for the purposes of this document, are used to
record the profile of a step;
b) inductive measuring probe or displacement sensor (incremental oder absolute) capable of recording
the profile of a step.
c) optical profilometers, i. e. white-light interference microscopes or confocal microscopes (ordinary,
laser scanning, or chromatic), which are generally used to measure surface topographic information
and 3D surface roughness but which, for the purposes of this document, are used to record and
evaluate the profile of a step.
Stylus instruments may have a greater utility, being suitable for roughness and form measurements,
while measuring probes or displacement sensors may be simpler in construction. Stylus instruments
designed only for roughness generally cover a ranges of coating thickness from 0,005 µm to 250 µm, the
other contact instruments up to some 1 000 µm.
5.2 Stylus instruments
These instruments are used to record the profile of a surface and have the following components.
