Fine ceramics (advanced ceramics, advanced technical ceramics) - Methods of test for ceramic coatings - Determination of fracture strain (ISO 14604:2012)

This International Standard describes a method of measuring the fracture strain of ceramic coatings by means of uniaxial tension or compression tests coupled with acoustic emission to monitor the onset of cracking of the coating. Tensile or compressive strains can also be applied by flexure using four-point bending. Measurements can be made in favourable cases at elevated temperatures as well as at room temperature.

Introduction
The fracture strain of a coating is a critical factor often determining the performance of a coated product.
Clearly, if stressed either directly or due to thermal effects (thermal expansion coefficient mismatch
between the coating and substrate) coating cracking can occur if the critical fracture stress/strain is
exceeded, and in many cases the effectiveness of the coating will be reduced. For example, corrosion-
resistant coatings loose their protective character if cracking occurs, and optical coatings become
ineffective when cracked. In many cases, cracking is the first stage of a much more serious form of
failure in which large areas of the coating can spall.
This International Standard describes a method for the determination of fracture strain using a technique
of applying stresses to a coupon of material by a uniaxial tensile or compressive test or a beam bending
test where the initiation of fracture in the coating is determined using an acoustic emission method.
The extent to which coated components can withstand external applied loads is an important property
in the application of any coated system, and usually the failure stress is required. For calculation of the
[1]
stress, both the fracture strain and Young’s modulus of the coating should be known. ISO 14577-4:2007
can be used to measure Young’s modulus by depth-sensing indentation, but there are other methods
involving flexure and impact excitation that may also be applied (References [2], [3]).

4 Significance and use
This test procedure covers the measurement of fracture strain in tension or compression in coatings
subject to mechanical stress at ambient or elevated temperature.
The method is applicable to cases where the substrate is sufficiently ductile such that fracture of the
coating occurs before the substrate. In addition, if during plastic deformation of the substrate acoustic
signals are generated, this may interfere with those caused by coating fracture. Where possible, it
is recommended that a test be carried out with the uncoated substrate to determine whether such
extraneous AE signals occur.
5 Principle
Specimens of appropriate geometry are submitted to a mechanical stress; the subsequent strain is
measured and the

This test procedure covers the measurement of fracture strain in tension or compression in coatings
subject to mechanical stress at ambient or elevated temperature.
The method is applicable to cases where the substrate is sufficiently ductile such that fracture of the
coating occurs before the substrate. In addition, if during plastic deformation of the substrate acoustic
signals are generated, this may interfere with those caused by coating fracture. Where possible, it
is recommended that a test be carried out with the uncoated substrate to determine whether such
extraneous AE signals occur.
5 Principle
Specimens of appropriate geometry are submitted to a mechanical stress; the subsequent strain is
measured and the onset of coating failure is detected. The test draws upon the expertise of standard
tensile and compressive tests but requires additional care due to the precision required of the
measurements. The applied stress may be tensile or compressive and may be applied directly or in
flexure. The test shall be carried out to satisfy the re
