33、rial. Especially for hard coatings, Youngs modulus correlates with hardness that can be measured only with increasing error for reducing film thickness. The structure of coatings can vary within a wide range, depending on the deposition process. This accompanies a Youngs modulus of the film which va

34、ries considerably. The value tabulated for the bulk material therefore is only a very rough estimation for the material deposited as film. They are given for some selected materials in Annex A. Consequently, measuring the film modulus is a method for controlling the film quality and monitoring the t

35、echnological process. For measuring Youngs modulus of the film, several static and dynamic techniques are used, such as the membrane deflection test, indentation test, Brillouin-scattering, ultrasonic microscopy and resonance vibration test. An overview of the principles of these alternatives is giv

36、en in Annex B. These methods are characterised to require special sample preparation, to be time-consuming, or to fail for films of sub-micrometer and nano-meter thickness. The laser-acoustic technique is a practicable method for reproducibly determining Youngs modulus of films with thickness down t

37、o less than 10 nm without special sample preparation. The technique also enables the film thickness to be measured and provides access to the film density. The method can also be used to characterise layers with gradually varying properties perpendicular to the surface as created by transition harde

The applicability of the method can be limited by the ultrasonic attenuation of the test material. 5.2 Surface acoustic waves 5.2.1 Properties The test method is based on measuring the dispersion of surface acoustic waves

39、 that have a vibration component perpendicular to the surface. Surface acoustic waves propagate along the surface of the test sample. For isotropic media, their penetration depth is defined to be the distance to the surface where the wave amplitude is decreased to 1/e of the amplitude at the surface

40、 A (Figure 1). Approximately, the penetration depth can be equated with the EN 15042-1:2006 (E) 7 wavelength . The penetration depth of the surface acoustic wave reduces with increasing frequency, following the relation: fc= (1) where c is the phase velocity, in m/s; f is the frequency, in Hz. The p

44、ure 1). It also depends on the elastic properties and the density of film and substrate material and the ratio of film thickness to wavelength. For a homogeneous isotropic film on homogeneous isotropic substrate, the following general relation applies: ()/, dvEvEckc = (3) where c is the phase veloci

For anisotropic film and substrate materials, the elastic constants Cijare used instead of Youngs modulus and Poisson ratio. The effect of the film on the wave propagation increases with increasing frequency of the wave du
