Cross-Cut Test Blade

The cross-cut test involves using a blade to cut a grid on the coating surface and observing the peeling of the coating to assess adhesion. It is used to detect the bonding strength between coatings, inks, and substrates, and is suitable for quality inspection of surface coatings on metals, plastics, and other materials.
Selection
When selecting a cross-cut test knife, it is necessary to consider the matching of the blade spacing to the coating thickness, the correspondence between the substrate hardness and the blade material, and the determination of cutting parameters based on standard specifications. For common coating types, choose specifications with six or eleven blades, and pay attention to the sharpness of the blades and the stability of the guiding device.
