Surface and mechanical properties investigation
 The Nano Hardness indenter bought from CSM used to test de hardness of the samples  Calibrating the scratch test in order to see the durability of the nano coating  The SEM-EDX used for taking photos at higher magnitudes |
 Applying parameters for the Nano hardness and monitoring the evolution of the samples  Evaluation of the scratches at the optical microscope  AFM analysis of Ni/nano-TiO2 nanocomposite layers surface |
