The invention relates to metal coating technology, and provides a method for detecting the bonding quality of a metal thin film coating, comprising: using a Vickers hardness tester to carry out indentation loading on a sample to be tested; comparing the observed coating morphology with a reference map Compare and evaluate the bonding quality level of the coating. Adopting the technical solution of the present invention, there is little restriction on the size, which is suitable for the research and judgment of the coating bonding quality of thin materials and small-sized samples, and can also test large-sized samples; the Vickers indenter is used to load the sample, and the Vickers indenter can be used to load the sample. Hardness test can realize near non-destructive test without affecting the overall appearance of the product; using Vickers hardness tester for indentation test can precisely control the load size, loading speed, and load holding time, which are less affected by the test conditions. Repeat well; finally, this scheme can be tested directly with a standard micro-microhardness Vickers hardness tester, which is easy and quick to operate, does not need to use special instruments, is economical and practical, and has good versatility.
