About the webinar

During electroplating, contamination, residues, or inclusions can quickly lead to a noticeable reduction in product quality or even failure of full batches. Similar types of contamination or defects can be found in production environments of the electronics and automotive industries.

In this webinar, it will be presented how Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) is used in quality control to identify quickly the root cause of defects (contamination) during electroplating of products. Using typical examples from the field, it will be shown how these samples can be investigated with a 2-in1-solution combining optical microscopy and LIBS for visual and chemical analysis of materials.
