What is BS EN 13507 - Thermal spraying about?
BS EN 13507 discusses thermal spraying. BS EN 13507 specifies the processing of surface preparation for thermal spraying. Important principles indicated in this European Standard are intended to be taken into consideration when surfaces of metallic parts are to be prepared for thermal spraying. BS EN 13507 applies to the production of new parts as well as for the repair of worn parts.
Note: BS EN 13507 does not apply to thermal spraying in the case of protection against atmospheric corrosion by coatings of zinc and/or aluminium and their alloys, for which EN ISO 20631:2017 and EN ISO 20632:2017 apply.
Who is BS EN 13507 - Thermal spraying for?
BS EN 13507 on thermal spraying is useful for:
- Automobile manufactures
- Painters
- Manufacturers of metal equipment and products
Why should you use BS EN 13507 - Thermal spraying?
The surface preparation of a workpiece has a substantial effect on the quality of the sprayed coating especially with regard to its adhesion to the substrate. To achieve sufficient adhesive strength the metallic surface is processed until a technically clean interface is generated.
BS EN 13507 provides you with methods to prepare the metal surface for coating which includes degreasing, grit blasting, threading/grooving, cleaning by reversed transferred arc and bond coatings. BS EN 13507 helps you with better adhesion of paints on the metal surfaces by keeping them clean. In addition, BS EN 13507 guidelines for thermal spray help the product to have resistance to wear, erosion, cavitation, corrosion, abrasion, and heat.
What’s changed since the last update?
BS EN 13507:2018 supersedes BS EN 13507:2010, which are withdrawn. BS EN 13507:2018 includes some technical changes with respect to BS EN 13507:2010. These include:
- Update of normative references
- Revision of subclause 5.6 (Bond coatings)
