ABSTRACT:
The tester comprises basically a four wheeled carriage, a scale arm containing graduations attached to the carriage in a counterpoised condition about a pivot axis, and a rolling, round fluted cutting tool coupled to the carriage and to the scale arm. The cutting tool, as the carriage is drawn across a test surface, leaves an indented track of the cutting flutes. The width of the track marks is a function of the coating hardness and applied load.
