Characterizing mechanical properties of materials and coatings is of utmost importance for product design, developing products and research on new materials. Tribology, scratch testing and hardness testing are essential techniques to analyse and quantify the mechanical properties of all types of materials. ST Instruments is representing and servicing the comprehensive products of Rtec Instruments in the Benelux and Nordic countries.
