NF EN ISO 20502
Fine ceramics (advanced ceramics, advances technical ceramics) - Determination of adhesion of ceramic coatings by scratch testing
ISO 20502:2005 describes a method of testing ceramic coatings by scratching with a diamond stylus. During a test, either a constant or increasing force normal to the surface under test is applied to the stylus, so as to promote adhesive and/or cohesive failure of the coating-substrate system. The test method is suitable for evaluating ceramic coatings up to a thickness of 20 micrometres and might also be suitable for evaluating other coating types and thicknesses.

Le présent document décrit une méthode destinée à soumettre à essai les revêtements céramiques en les rayant avec un stylet diamanté chargé de manière à provoquer une rupture adhésive et/ou cohésive du système revêtement-substrat. L'essai permet d'évaluer des revêtements céramiques dont l'épaisseur va jusqu'à 20 mi m et il peut aussi permettre d'évaluer d'autres types de revêtements et d'autres épaisseurs. L'essai est destiné à des spécimens de rugosité superficielle limitée. Le présent document est destiné à être utilisé dans la plage des macro-charges (de 1 N à 100 N). Les modes opératoires peuvent également être applicables à d'autres plages. Un étalonnage approprié est toutefois nécessaire si les charges normales auxquelles se produisent les ruptures sont à quantifier.

The Requirements department helps you quickly locate within the normative text:
- mandatory clauses to satisfy,
- non-essential but useful clauses to know, such as permissions and recommendations.
The identification of these types of clauses is based on the document “ISO / IEC Directives, Part 2 - Principles and rules of structure and drafting of ISO documents ”as well as on a constantly enriched list of verbal forms.
With Requirements, quickly access the main part of the normative text!

At a glance, you will be able to identify the additions, deletions or modifications to a text, table, figure and formula.
