This document specifies a method for the evaluation of the adhesion of ceramic coatings by indentation with a Rockwell diamond indenter. The formation of cracks after indentation may also reveal cohesive failure. The indentations are made with a Rockwell hardness test instrument.
The method described in this document may also be suitable for evaluating the adhesion of metallic coatings.
