Coating Scratch Gauge

The coating scratch tester uses a diamond stylus to move at a constant speed on the coating surface while applying gradually increasing vertical pressure to detect the critical load at which the coating begins to peel. It is used to evaluate the adhesion strength between the coating and the substrate and is suitable for quantitative testing of the adhesion of coatings such as paint and electroplated layers.
Selection
When selecting, ensure that the maximum load range covers the testing standards and the loading rate is adjustable. The stylus curvature radius must match the coating thickness, and an optical microscope should be equipped to observe scratch morphology. Consider fixtures compatible with the substrate hardness, and opt for models with automatic calibration features to minimize human error.
