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.
1 Scope
This document is applicable for thermal sprayed coatings. It contains basic recommendations for the
design of components, which have to be completely or partially coated. The recommendations are
applicable for new manufacturing as well as for repair of worn components. The coating can be of
metallic, metal-ceramic, oxide-ceramic materials or polymers.

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.
