Foreword
This document (EN ISO 14923:2003) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 240 "Thermal spraying
and thermally sprayed coatings", the secretariat of which is held by DIN, in collaboration with Technical Committee
ISO/TC 107 "Metallic and other inorganic coatings".
This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or
by endorsement, at the latest by January 2004, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest
by January 2004.
According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following
countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland,
France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal,
Slovakia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.
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
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 a
