Introduction
The determination of tensile strength of a thermally sprayed coating can be of substantial importance
regarding product-supporting quality control as well as coating development and, moreover, can have
an effect on important factors such as transfer efficiency, microstructure, surface quality, etc. Only a
little effort is required to carry out the tubular coating tensile test (TCT). However, it provides
reproducible values for the mechanical strength of sprayed coatings and gives information on
influences resulting from spraying conditions.
Microscopic examinations of the fractured surface can provide further information on failure modes
and support the quality assessment of the coating microstructure as well as the assessment of
influences resulting from loads during the TCT test.

1 Scope
This document specifies the procedure for the determination of coating strength, and hence of cohesive
strength in a tubular coating tensile test.
The test is intended to determine the tensile coating strength parallel to the spray layers (normal to the
spray direction) and to identify differences in particle cohesion quality, as caused by defects as internal
delamination at cracks or oxides between the spray particles or splats.
The tubular coating tensile test is suitable for sprayed coatings deposited using metallic materials (not
carbides and ceramics).
The tubular coating tensile test is not suitable for fused sprayed coatings deposited using self-fluxing
alloys.
The test supports quality assurance and is intended to be applied for the purpose of coating
optimization by identifying the influences of coating parameters and spray materials on the coatings's
quality. Furthermore, the coating in particular for cold sprayed coatings can be compared with the
characteristics of similar solid materials and the coating's quality can be assessed.
This test is not recommended for thin coatings (coating thickness < 500 µm), since massive scattering of
results is to be expected here. Due to the size of the specimen, it is particularly suitable to apply the
tubular coating tensile test for coating processes that use a concentrated spray jet and a highly focused
spray spot, as in the case of cold spraying, high velocity flame spraying (HVOF) or plasma spraying.
Applying the tubular coating tensile test for coating processes that use a broad spray jet, such as flame
spraying and arc spraying, may require special spraying measures, e.g. the use of a template to ensure a
nearly vertical impingement angle.

5.1 Shape of base samples
The base samples are made of aluminium or non alloy steel. Their outer dimensions shall be equal to
those of the specimens used in the determination of tensile adhesive strength according to
EN ISO 14916 (diameter: 25 mm or 40 mm), and they have a central bore (6 mm through bore) for
fixation, see Figure 2. Rounding or chamfering the front face is not permitted.
