The force required to accomplish removal is plotted, by means of an electronic recorder, against distance of removal.

Since the removal force is a function of coating thickness, a differential transformer pickup has been incorporated into the instrument to accurately measure film thickness.

If a wedge-shaped coating of increasing thickness is removed from a substrate by an instrument like the Hesiometer with a knife of constant rake angle, a number of removal mechanisms are often observed which depend upon the thickness of the coating.

The typical appearance of these various mechanisms is illustrated in Figs. 2, 3, and 4, which are single frame enlargements of high speed movies taken during the course of the knife removal process.

The pictures of Figs. 3 and 4 show the cracking and peeling types of removal where the coating is detached by failure in a region at, or close to, the interface between coating and substrate.

Here, H is the coatings removal force measured parallel to the surface of the substrate and T is the film thickness.

It can be seen that the force is characteristic of the removal process and changes abruptly from cutting to cracking to peeling removal.
