What is this standard about?
This International Standard includes general guidelines for the workmanlike production of metallic, metal-ceramic, oxide-ceramic and plastic coatings, by means of thermal spraying on metallic and nonmetallic parent materials.
This International Standard provides recommendations for an appropriate and practical spray set-up, faultless manufacturing, monitoring, quality assurance and for non-destructive and destructive tests on the component and accompanying specimen. It describes details about negative effects which can occur. It also gives advice on how to prevent such effects.
Permissible coating loads and evaluation categories for quality are not the subject of this International Standard, as they are dependent on the operating conditions.
This International Standard can be used for contract purposes.
