Electroplating

lsoProfil supplies electroplated products made of metal and plastic for a wide range of applications - coated according to customers’ specifications:

  • Silver
  • Gold
  • Nickel
  • Copper
  • Chrome
  • Ruthenium

We record the thickness of the layers using X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy. In X-ray fluorescence (XRF) is the characteristic emission of fluorescence from reference and analysis materials ‘excited’ by X-ray lines and spectrum retardation.

The radiation emanating from the sample is decomposed by monochromatisation performed by a crystal monochromator so that the intensities of individual spectral lines or ranges (wavelength dispersive) can be measured. After adjustments for matrix effects and line overlaps, the measured intensity of a line represents a measure of the concentration of the element.
