BS EN ISO 14604:2016

This standard BS EN ISO 14604:2016 Fine ceramics (advanced ceramics, advanced technical ceramics). Methods of test for ceramic coatings. Determination of fracture strain is classified in these ICS categories:

• 81.060.30 Advanced ceramics

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.
