SCRATCH TESTER FOR ADHESION TESTING OF COATINGS ON SURFACES
20220397503 · 2022-12-15 ·

A scratch testing apparatus comprises a lightweight frame assembly and a test specimen support stage that may hold a test specimen (i.e., the material to be subjected to a scratch test) and may be horizontally moved along slide rails mounted to the frame assembly. A stylus is mounted to a load block and points toward the test specimen support stage to enable the stylus (under load from the load block) to impart a scratch to the surface of the specimen during a scratch test. A load assembly is pivotably mounted to the frame and pivotably supports the load block and stylus, with a moveable counterweight assembly positioned at an opposite end of the load assembly. The position of the counterweight may be varied along the load assembly so as to modify the amount of force exerted by the load block, and thus by the stylus, on the surface of the test specimen, even during the conduct of a scratch test. In certain configurations, various spring members may extend between the frame and the load assembly to provide further stabilization to the load assembly during scratch test operations.
