Summary
Thin Layer Activation (TLA) is a versatile tool for measuring wear, corrosion and erosion rate on the surface of different machine parts by using the charged particle activation. It is easy to accomplish when the surface to be investigated contains iron or elements from the iron group, because the cross sections, yields and penetration properties are well-known and well-documented. It is not the case by plastic materials and others, e.g. DLC (diamond-like carbon) that do not contain these metallic elements. Thanks to the relatively high cross section of the natC(3He,x)7Be nuclear reaction and the nuclear properties (half-life, gamma-radiation, …) of the 7Be labelling radioisotope, the problem can be easily solved
