Measuring Nickel Plating Thickness
Measuring Nickel Plating Thickness
(OP)
I've run across this a couple times now and am wondering if there is a non-destructive method to measure the thickness of the nickel plate (this is a repair to a bore)? The base material in this particular case is 30NiCrMo16-6. This is a landing gear part with a nickel repair (without paperwork) and I need to verify nickel thickness.
If there exists such a method could it be used on other base metals? Please forgive me for my ignorance. I usually deal with aluminum structure.
