Start date 1 July 1992

End date 30 June 1995

Funded under

• Medium-term guidelines (ECSC) for the programmes of technical steel research and of steel pilot/demonstration projects, 1991-1995

Total cost € 228 500,00

EU contribution € 137 100,00

Objective

The aim of this project is to study the practicality of using a glow discharge lamp coupled with an optical spectrometer to control non-conducting coatings on steel products. It will develop further the operating parameters of a radiofrequency lamp patented by Renault which has the potential to evaluate non-conducting coatings when coupled with an optical emission spectrometer. It will also study the mapping of concentration profiles using such techniques.
