Thermal spraying - Characterization and testing of thermally sprayed coatings (ISO 14923:2003)

This standard gives an overview of the characteristics of coatings produced by thermal spraying. It is not possible in this document to go into details regarding the different types of coatings and large numbers of coatings due to the fact that all meltable materials can be processed by thermal spraying and that so many and varied thermal spraying processes exist. Quoted specifications are providing additional information. The tests described are procedures and test criteria in general use for thermally sprayed coatings.

Thermisches Spritzen - Merkmale und Prüfung von thermisch gespritzten Schichten (ISO 14923:2003)

Die vorliegende Norm gibt einen Überblick über die Eigenschaften von Beschichtungen, die durch thermisches Spritzen hergestellt werden. Aufgrund der Tatsache, daß alle schmelzbaren Werkstoffe durch thermisches Spritzen verarbeitet werden können, sowie aufgrund der vielen und unterschiedlichen Verfahren zum thermischen Spritzen ist es unmöglich, in vorliegender Norm im Detail auf die verschiedenen Schichttypen und zahlreichen Schichten einzugehen. Die angegebenen Normen geben zusätzliche Informationen.

1 Scope
This European Standard gives guidance on tests used for characterizations of coatings produced by thermal spraying.
It is not possible in this document to go into details regarding the different types of coatings and large numbers of
coatings due to the fact that all meltable materials can be processed by thermal spraying and that so many and varied
thermal spraying processes exist.
The tests listed are procedures and test criteria in general use for thermally sprayed coatings. Test methods not
mentioned here are only used in special cases or under laboratory conditions.
NOTE Continuous further development and technical improvements mean that this standard cannot make any claim to
completeness.

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this European Standard, the terms and definitions given in EN 657 and the following apply.
3.1
coating structure
sprayed coating is built up of lamellae. Process dependent factors such as materials (auxiliary materials), type of
material and spray parameters affect the coating structure. The lamella type and size, structure, cracks, segmentation
and similar features have to be differentiated
3.2
crack
parting of the coating structure or separation of the sprayed particles from one another, or within a particle
NOTE They occur vertical and/or parallel to the substrate surface as macro- or microcracks, or mixed.
3.3
flaking
area detached from the coating due to insufficient cohesion resulting from external loads (thermal and/or mechanical)
or internal loads (internal stresses from the spraying process)
3.4
inclusion of the same or different material
particle which did not melt, or which solidified before contacting the coating surface
6

---------------------- Page: 8 ----------------------

SIST EN ISO 14923:2004
EN ISO 14923:2003 (E)
NOTE This can also be inclusions of blasting materials, nozzle/electrode burn-off, foreign powder particles or dust
inclusions.
3.5
microstructure
crystal structure of single-component and/or material type two-component sprayed coatings in cross section, made
visible by grinding, polishing, etching when viewing under the microscope
3.6
nodule
blister
local increase in height of the coating
NOTE They can be caused by covering over a cavity, unmelted or agglomerated spray particles, possibly mixed with
debris removed from the nozzle by the spray action. The nodules or blisters are generally badly joined to the adjacent coating.
3.7
oxide
non-oxide spray particle, which in flight, whether desired or not, has reacted with oxygen due to contact with the
atmosphere forming oxides
NOTE Such oxides frequently appear in the form of striations and/or segregates.
3.8
peeling
coating detached from the base material due to insufficient adhesion, resulting from external loads (thermal and/or
mechanical) or internal loads (internal stresses from the spraying process)
3.9
pore
cavities of varying shapes and sizes within the sprayed coating, caused by the process used
4 Manufacturing the coating
4.1 General
The processes and categories for manufacturing thermally sprayed coatings are specified in EN 657.
4.2 Coating materials
4.2.1 Materials
The coating is produced by the spraying of spray materials, which can be in powder, wire, rod, or cord form. The
technical delivery conditions of the spray additives are specified below:
 powder in EN 1274;
 wire in EN ISO 14919;
 rod in EN ISO 14919;
 cord in EN ISO 14919.
4.2.2 Chemical composition
Typical compositions are set out in EN 1274 for spray powders, and in EN ISO 14919 for wires, rods and cords. The
compositions are given in mass fraction percent. Other compositions can be agreed on between the users, material
manufacturers and suppliers.

SIST EN ISO 14923:2004
EN ISO 14923:2003 (E)
4.3 Coating properties
4.3.1 General
Thermally sprayed coatings are more or less heterogeneous, anisotropic, microporous and contain microcracks,
regardless of the spraying method employed and the materials used. Complete diffusion bonding of the sprayed
material to the base material is not obtained. Adhesion of the sprayed particles generally takes place by mechanical
adherence and anchoring of sprayed particles as they cool and contract, and by physical adhesion processes. Fusion
or diffusion bonding of the sprayed coating with the base material can be achieved, for example with a self-fluxing
alloy or vacuum sprayed coating, as soon as a fusing process or a diffusion heat treatment of the coating is carried
out during or after the spraying process.
4.3.2 Description of features
The quality of sprayed coatings is mostly characterised by the structure of the coating, and the distribution and size of
e.g. phases, pores, oxides, inclusions of the same or of different materials, segregations and cracks. These are
assessed in etched or unetched cross-section micrographs. As these variables are difficult to quantify, assessment is
made by comparison with a reference series for the coating.
4.3.3 External features
External features are surface unevenness, roughness or surface texture, with an even coloration and appearance
in normal cases. The properties of the coating are significantly influenced by cracks, nodules, flaking, peeling and
the coating thickness.
4.3.4 Internal features
Internal features are e.g. coating formation and structure (mechanical adherence or metallurgical bonding) and,
depending on the manufacturing method, oxide inclusions, pores, and inclusions of the same or different materials.
Spray materials depending on the process and spray parameters affect the coating structures. These are normally
detected by metallographic methods.
4.4 Technological and physical properties
4.4.1 Technological properties
4.4.1.1 Wear resistance
The wear resistance of a material is understood as the property of resisting progressive mechanical removal of
material caused by relative movement at the boundary between a solid body and another solid, liquid or gaseous
body.
Wear, terms and system analysis of wear processes are described in national standards.
4.4.1.2 Corrosion resistance
The corrosion resistance of a material is understood as the property of resisting a chemical and/or physical reaction
with the surrounding medium. Corrosion resistance depends on the material, the attacking corrosive medium and the
physical and chemical conditions pertaining. It is described e.g. in EN ISO 4541 or in national standards.
Oxidation resistance is a specific form of corrosion resistance.
4.4.1.3 Machinability
Machinability of a sprayed coating is understood as its behaviour during shaping to the contour of the finished
component by means of mechanical machining. The coating structure determined by the process employed shall be
taken into account when machining, which gives rise to production engineering differences compared to solid
material. Depending on the coating material used, the machining process can be turning, grinding or honing, for
example.

4.4.1.4 Thermal shock resistance
Thermal shock resistance is understood as the resistance of a coating to a rapid change in temperature acting on all
or part of a component. Thermal shock resistance exists when the coating can withstand an agreed number of
thermal cycles without any significant damage. There is no common international standards for thermal shock testing
for thermally sprayed coat
