Abstract
A new technique for measuring the tensile properties of surface coatings at high temperatures is described. It is shown to be capable of measuring the properties of growing surface scales on metals and has been applied initially to the measurement of fracture strains of growing surface oxides on mild steel at high temperatures. The fracture strains determined ranged from 1.1×10−4 to 2.3×10−4 over the temperature range 600–900°C.
