scope:

This document includes general guidelines for the workmanlike production of metallic, metal-ceramic, oxide-ceramic and plastic coatings by means of thermal spraying on metallic and non-metallic parent materials. It offers 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 gives advice on how to prevent such effects. Permissible coating loads and evaluation categories for quality are not the subject of this standard, as they are dependent on the operating conditions. This standard can be used for contract purposes.
