Abstract
In a method for evaluating mechanical tests of a coating on a substrate, in a first step a mechanical stress is applied onto the coating, in a second step the substrate having the coating is isothermally clamped, in a third step an infrared photograph is generated of the region in which the mechanical stress is applied onto the coating in the first step, and in a fourth step the infrared photograph is evaluated. A device is arranged for carrying out the method.

1-11. (canceled)
A method for evaluating mechanical tests of a coating on a substrate, comprising:
- (a) applying a mechanical stress onto the coating;
- (b) isothermally clamping the substrate with the coating and generating an infrared photograph of a region in which the mechanical stress is applied onto the coating in step (a);
- and
- (c) evaluation of the infrared photograph.
A device, comprising:
- a clamp device adapted to clamp a substrate in order to apply a mechanical stress;
- an arrangement adapted to apply the mechanical stress is applied to the substrate;
- and
- an infrared camera adapted to generate an infrared photograph of the substrate clamped in the clamp device.
