Scratch tester
scratch tester
Scratch testing is a crucial technique in material science that enables researchers to evaluate the mechanical properties of various materials. It involves creating controlled scratches or cuts on the surface of a material using a stylus with a defined geometry, allowing scientists to measure its adhesive, cohesive, and wear resistance. As new materials with increasingly complex structures and properties continue to be developed, the significance of scratch testing grows substantially.
The working principle of scratch testing involves using a stylus with a defined geometry that moves across the surface of a material while gradually increasing the load. This process measures the depth of the scratch or the force required to initiate the scratch as a function of the applied load. The stylus shape and size, sliding speed, temperature, and humidity can influence the scratch testing results. Different types of scratch tests include single-pass, progressive load, and reciprocating or multi-pass tests, each with unique advantages and limitations
