The beta-backscatter method of measuring thin laminates on thick substrates was evaluated for possible production inspection applications of aluminum ion plating on U-0.75 Ti parts. The choice of radiation source, the effects of surface curvature, and background radiation from uranium isotopes were examined. Measurements of aluminum coatings on U-0.75 Ti test coupons and cylindrical parts were made with the ..beta..-backscatter technique and compared to ..cap alpha..-transmission measurements.
