Introduction
Thermal spraying is applied to improve the surface properties of work pieces in order to increase the
wear resistance, the electrical conductivity or the electrical resistance, to achieve corrosion resistance for
the pertinent service conditions, to improve sliding behaviour or, to provide heat insulation.
Recommendations for thermal spraying are contained in EN ISO 12679.

4 Applications and specific properties of thermally sprayed coatings
Due to their structure, thermal sprayed coatings possess properties which markedly distinguish them
from bulk materials. An appropriate basic structural design and a suitable parent metal have to bear any
mechanical loading. Usually, thermal sprayed coatings do not increase the strength of the parent work
piece.
Some process related features and specific properties of thermal sprayed coatings are summarized in
Table 1.

5 Basic rules for design of components with thermal sprayed coatings
Without proper consideration of the constructional design for thermal sprayed coatings, it might not be
possible to achieve the desired properties of the coating.
Designs which are suitable for thermal spraying will be suitable for pre-treatment, blasting and visual
inspection.
Further design instructions for specific applications are contained in EN ISO 14921 and EN ISO 17834
and for the protection of steel structures against corrosion in EN ISO 12944-3, EN ISO 14713-1 and
EN ISO 2063-1 and EN ISO 2063-2. These standards deal with the evaluation of coating material,
processing and testing and give recommendations for coating thicknesses for several corrosive
conditions.
The most important rules for the design are summarized in Table 2.

and/or gas connections, required spray

Sharp edges are to be avoided. Usually they cannot be coated, with a sufficient
and uniform coating thickness. Coatings can be
damaged on sharp edges. Sharp edges on holes
and along cut edges shall be chamfered or
rounded.
Small internal radii are to be avoided. Turbulence of the spray jet, unfavourable
angles of incidence, and irregular rebounding
spray particles will occur which will lead to
insufficient bond strength and density.

has to be minimized.
6 Design for preparation of components and work pieces for thermal spraying
When components or work pieces shall be only partially coated, the final machining to finished size of
the whole component shall be carried out after spraying the coating. When manufacturing rotationally
symmetrical components the blank should be pre-machined only in the area to be sprayed to the diameter
appropriate for the coating thickness. One example is shown in Figure 8.
In case of thermal spraying of finish-machined parts or repair of parts by coating, areas which shall not
be coated may be protected by appropriate measures (e.g. masking) for blasting and thermal spraying.
