]]> ASTM D7187, the resistance of the paint to scratch and mar plays a vital role in its end use. Automotive paint susceptible to scratches makes it difficult and costly to maintain and repair. Different coating architectures of the primer, basecoat, and clearcoat have been developed to achieve the best scratch/mar resistance. Nanoscratch testing has been developed as a standard test method to measure the mechanistic aspects of scratch/mar behavior of paint coatings as described in ASTM D7187. Different elementary deformation mechanisms, namely elastic deformation, plastic deformation and fracture, occur at different loads during the scratch test. It provides a quantitative assessment of the plastic resistance and fracture resistance of the paint coatings.

]]> In this application, the Nanovea Mechanical Tester in its nano scratch testing mode is used to measure the load required to cause failure to a microstructure. We must simulate the process of scratching in a controlled and monitored manner to observe scratch resistance. A 10μm diamond tipped stylus is used at a progressive load ranging from 10 mN to 20 mN to scratch the microstructure. The point where the coating fails by cracking is taken as the point of failure.
