Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).

5 Principle
The elastic modulus and bending strength of thick ceramic coatings on metal or ceramic substrates
can be evaluated using three-point bending tests. The elastic modulus of the coating is deduced by
comparing the deformation of a coated test piece and of the uncoated substrate under identical loads.
A precondition of this method is that the elastic modulus of the substrate is known or can be measured

before or after the test. The bending strength of the coating is determined using the critical load for
cracking in the coating and the sample size. This indirect test method is called the relative method.
6 Apparatus
6.1 Testing machine
A suitable testing machine capable of applying a uniform crosshead speed and compliant with ISO 7500-1
shall be used. The loading speed should be constant. The measuring error shall be 1 % or lower.
6.2 Data acquisition
Record the applied load as a function of crosshead displacement or testing time in order to determine
the maximum applied load.
An analog chart recorder or digital data collection system should be used. The error of the recording
system shall be 1 % or lower. The minimum data collection frequency shall be 15 Hz, and a response
frequency of 50 Hz is deemed adequate.
6.3 Dimensional measuring devices
The dimensions of the test piece shall be measured using a Vernier caliper complying with ISO 3611 and
with a precision of 0,02 mm or better, or other calibrated measuring device providing the same or better
measurement accuracy. Coating thickness shall be measured by using a calibrated optical microscope
with magnification of 1 000 times or better. Sample displacement shall be measured using a calibrated
electronic micrometer with a precision of at least 0,001 mm and resolution of 0,000 5 mm or better, or
other measuring device providing the same or better measurement accuracy. All calibrations shall be
traceable to national standards.
