Gold-plated thickness measurement by SEM
1 Scope
This standard specifies the technical requirements of the gold-plated thickness measurement by SEM for various gold products. This standard is also applicable to the gold-plated thickness measurement by the electro-probe microanalyzer, and the applicable thickness measurement range is 0.2 to 10 μm.
It may serve as a reference for the measurement of the plated thickness of other metal materials.
