Abstract

Protective layers, such as CVD and PVD coatings on steel substrates, surface modifications related to friction wear, and the effects of mechanical and thermal cycling of SMA samples have been analysed with respect to the depth profile of the thermal properties by using IR detection of thermal waves. The advantage of IR detection of thermal waves is that this method is most appropriate for remote sensing under industrial conditions, working absolutely contactless with remote detection and without any sample preparation.
