Full Description

ISO 20343:2017 specifies a method of test for determining the elastic modulus of thick ceramic monolayer coatings (thickness 0,03 mm) at elevated temperatures, using the impulse excitation method. Procedures for test piece preparation, test modes and rates (load rate or displacement), data collection, and reporting procedures are given.

ISO 20343:2017 applies primarily to brittle ceramic coatings on ceramic or metal substrates. This test method can be used for material research, quality control, and characterization and design data-generation purposes.
