Aluminum oxide layer thickness Gauge

An aluminum oxide thickness gauge measures the thickness of the oxide film on aluminum surfaces using the principles of eddy current or electromagnetic induction. The probe generates an alternating magnetic field, and variations in the oxide layer thickness cause differences in the induced current, which the instrument uses to calculate the thickness value. It is used for monitoring the quality of surface treatment on aluminum products to ensure that the oxide layer meets protection and decorative requirements.
Selection
When selecting, consider the measurement range to cover common oxide layer thicknesses, ensuring accuracy meets process control requirements. Choose a flat or curved probe based on the shape of the aluminum material, and pay attention to the influence of the base material alloy type on measurements. Verify the instrument's calibration certificate and probe wear resistance, and ensure the operation interface is simple and easy to read.
