: I would like to know if is it possible to measure the coating thickness of Al-2%Zn coating (flame spray) that is on Al substrate.
By frequency scanning eddy current techniques you can reliably measure coating thickness even in case of very small difference between electrical conductivity values of coating and substrate. I have used extensively and successfully such techinque for measuring the thickness of high-temperature coatings applied on gas turbine blades. It is worth trying also in your case.
