COATING OPTIMIZATION PROCESS USING A COUPON AND COMPONENT COMPRISING A COUPON

摘要

The use of coupons according to the prior art in coating processes often results in unrepresentative properties, for example in the case of a component without a coupon, since the coupon alters the geometry of the component and influences the coating parameters and adhesion mechanisms of the material to be applied on a substrate. The invention comprises introducing a coupon (10) into a depression (19) of the component (1), as a result of which the geometry of the component (1) is not altered compared to a component without a coupon.
