The scratch test is a well-established instrumental method for assessment of the cohesive-adhesive parameters of thin films and coatings. Its evaluation is classically performed using the microscopic analysis of residual scratch and the indenter depth-change record. However, these analysis methods can be insufficient for detection of the very first film-to-substrate adhesion failures. To overcome this difficulty, an independent method of detection of acoustic emission signals can be employed. The detection system of acoustic emission, developed in our laboratory, utilizes a special holder and continuous recording during the whole scratch test. The piezoelectric sensor with 2 MHz sampling rate and sophisticated software allow a thorough post-process analysis of recorded acoustic emission signal. Failure events can be observed on microsecond scale and their frequency spectra can be evaluated.
