Description
Summary:The examination of hard coatings requires specified test methods to assess the properties of the film and characterize the improvement of the layered component. Information is given about existing measurement and testing methods, and the need for the definition and qualification of further specified tests and reference specimens for calibration procedures. Recent innovative research and development activities and international standardization efforts are presented.
