I used to know this....

What is the term which refers to the Smash Test done to a bullet to see how well the coating sticks?

There is no particular name.

Powder coating adhesion test sounds right.

I once cracked up a family member by describing our dog's chew toy as a "High precision Kinetic Canine Recreational Implement!" Seemed to go over well, until she used the terminology at a pet store.
