A retractable, solid-state, backscatter detector facilitated the location of the dissimilar interfaces. (W 18) (1)

Dissimilar interface = Interface dissimilar

Coated devices – promise has been shown in the use of this technology to promote adhesion between a substrate and a coating. The re-entrant features provide improvements in mechanical interlocking with adjoining parts and the protrusions help to distribute the stresses more evenly across a joint interface. (W 212) (2)

Joint interface = Interface conjunta

The adhesion values measured for the HVOF sprayed stainless steel and nickel alloy coatings, following the ASTM C-633 standard, were considered good and in excess of 70MPa with failure occurring at the coating to substrate interface. (W 350) (3)

Substrate interface = Interface do substrato
