Abstract The adhesion is a fundamental property of hard coatings in view of tribological-mechanical demands. The quantification of adhesion between coating and substrate is with respect to practice not easy to handle, even so the scratch test is the best established and well discussed test method. The present study analyzes the test procedure and proposes a possible evaluation method and interpretation of the results to reach sufficient reproducibility due to a better standardization.
