This class guideline describes the Society's requirements for metal coatings and clad welding, used as techniques in creating coatings with special properties (corrosion- or wear-resistant) and also for restoring lost material or repairing damaged surfaces. The metal coating techniques employed include thermal spraying and hot galvanizing deposition.

This class guideline specially addresses to the repairing by metal coating and clad welding. For example, Sec.6 Table 1 is meant to show which solutions are acceptable for typical applications.
