Abstract
The adhesion is a fundamental property of hard coatings in view of tri bological-mechanical demands. The quantification of adhesion between c oating and substrate is with respect to practice not easy to handle, e ven so the scratch test is the best established and well discussed tes t method. The present study analyzes the test procedure and proposes a possible evaluation method and interpretation of the results to reach sufficient reproducibility due to a better standardization.
