Metal Coating Project Samples: Label the Treated Face Permanently

Clear treatments can make sample orientation difficult to identify later. The treated face should remain traceable without touching or altering it.

Updated · NANOLAB Knowledge

Practical approach

Mark a suitable non-test area or use an accompanying sample map that survives handling and storage.

Inspecting the untreated reverse by mistake can produce a false conclusion about coating performance.

Decision limits

Do not identify the treated face afterward solely from whichever side gives the preferred result.
