cost-effective method for adhesion testing The scratch tester easyScratch is used to determine the adhesion between the coating and the base material according to DIN EN ISO 20502 and ASTM C1624. Under load, a diamond stylus is drawn across the to be tested coating system. The coating damage is assessed under a microscope. Several coating damage, such as cracks, chipping and spalling can occur. For tests during production, it is generally sufficient to test with a constant load, at which no coating damages may occur. Like that the sample can directly be rated, PASS or FAIL. This reduces the effort...
