Evaluation of a pulsed laser technique for the estimation of the adhesion strength of oxide coatings onto metallic substrates

ABSTRACT

The determination of the adhesion strength of coatings remains a difficult task in surface engineering, although it has a great importance for the proper design of a component planned to operate under thermal and/ or mechanical loading.
