DIN Standards Committee Coatings and Coating Materials
DIN SPEC 91064
Hardness and wear resistance of coatings
Härte und Verschleißfestigkeit von Beschichtungen
Procedure
Technical Report
Overview
Determination of the hardness and wear resistance is an important prerequisite for evaluating the protective function of coatings. Its aim is to provide a summarizing list of test methods for the evaluation of the hardness and wear resistance of coatings under different loading conditions. This DIN SPEC (Technical Report) provides a helpful overview for the selection of the test method most suitable for a single case in order to evaluate the hardness and wear resistance of coatings. The committee responsible for this standard is NA 002-00-07-14 AK "Haftfestigkeit und Härte" ("Adhesive strength and hardness") at DIN.
