3. Determination of mechanical surface characteristics
While the surface is first and foremost a geometric entity characteristic of the shape of a body, it is also the material envelope directly subjected to external aggression. As such, it has both aesthetic and protective functions. It is therefore important to be able to characterize the state of the surface, linked to geometric and physico-chemical parameters, as well as its mechanical, chemical and electrical behavior, etc., especially as the material in this zone does not always have the same structure as at the heart of the part.
For an analysis of the problem as a whole, the reader is referred to a general synthesis study

Standardization by test family
All the standards relating to the main families of thermomechanical test methods and specimen preparation are listed below, with the exception of those for reinforced plastics, which are covered in Doc. AM 5 405. The main French (NF), American (ASTM) and international (ISO) standards are listed. Please note that NF, ISO and ASTM standards for the same application are not necessarily identical in terms of...
