Y. Higashi et al. Comparative Study on Nondestructive and Destructive Methods of Evaluating Thicknesses
of Hot-dip Galvanized Coatings
Paper
Two on-site nondestructive methods, one involving an electromagnetic thickness tester and the other a
handheld x-ray fluorescence analysis system, were used to evaluate thicknesses of hot-dip galvanized coat-
ings on steel and compared with destructive analytical methods. They were sufficiently applicable for
measuring the remaining thickness or mass of the coatings when the density of the alloy layer or the zinc
depth profile was already known.
