Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method of determining the appearance of losses of cohesion in a transparent ceramic coating layer ( 16 ) formed on a substrate ( 10 ), the method comprising the steps that consist firstly in looking for an image representative of a separation zone, if any, between the ceramic layer and the substrate, and secondly in analyzing the detected image, if any, with the image being viewed optically at particular wavelengths that are greater than or equal to 500 nm.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method of determining appearance of loss of cohesion in a transparent ceramic coating layer on a substrate, the method comprising: detecting an image representative of a separation zone between the transparent ceramic coating layer and the substrate; and analyzing the image by viewing the image optically at particular wavelengths of longer than or equal to 500 nm, in order to determine the loss of cohesion in the transparent ceramic coating layer on the substrate, wherein: the transparent ceramic coating layer is subjected to white lighting; and the image is captured by a camera. 2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the transparent ceramic coating layer comprises zirconia obtained by a plasma deposition process, and the particular wavelengths are longer than or equal to 600 nm. 3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the transparent ceramic coating layer comprises zirconia obtained by an EBPVD deposition process. 4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the transparent ceramic coating layer is subjected to the white lighting, and the image is captured by a camera with a filter at the particular wavelengths being interposed between the camera and the substrate. 5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the transparent ceramic coating layer is subjected to the white lighting, and the image is captured by a camera having optical sensors adjusted to the particular wavelengths.
