Abstract

This paper reviews the principles and describes new procedures for determining the bond strength of a metal film on a substrate. Considered are mechanical, electrical, acoustical and thermal measurements. Particular attention is placed on techniques which permit an unambiguous connection to be made between measured quantitites and the parameters by which the adhesive strength of a coating on a substrate can be determined.
