CW damage is classically governed by a total dosage/time mechanism determining the power levels at which steady-state equilibria are obtained. Despite this, true damage occurred in scan tests. Scanning is not the recommended test procedure adopted for CW, as a steady state is unable to be established. CW use does not involve a moving target. However, new applications can see surface features giving rise to damage when scanning is used. These events are scanning-induced and happen even when the coating threshold is far higher when tested classically.
