What is ISO 12679 about?
ISO 12679 is an International Standard which includes general guidelines for the workmanlike production of metallic, metal-ceramic, oxide-ceramic and plastic coatings, by means of thermal spraying on metallic and non-metallic parent materials.
ISO 12679 provides recommendations for an appropriate and practical spray set-up, faultless manufacturing, monitoring, quality assurance and for non-destructive and destructive tests on the component and accompanying specimen. It describes details about negative effects which can occur. It also gives advice on how to prevent such effects.
Note: Permissible coating loads and evaluation categories for quality are not the subjects of ISO 12679 International Standard, as they are dependent on the operating conditions.
Who is ISO 12679 for?
ISO 12679 on thermal spraying is applicable to:
- Manufacturers of thermal sprayed coatings
- Aerospace Industry
- Manufacturers stationary gas turbine
- Automotive Industry
- Machinery construction,
- Printing and chemical
- Oil extraction and refining fluid control industries,
- Steel construction in the field of off-shore and on-shore
Why should you use ISO 12679?
Metals are prone to degradation with usage and time. Thermal spraying is a method used to prevent this wear.
ISO 12679 provides quality assurance of the entire thermal spraying process for different applications.
ISO 12679 improves quality for thermal spraying processes which are widely applied for producing industrial products for preventive protection of surfaces from corrosion, erosion.
ISO 12679 is used to manufacture quality thermal sprayed coatings that protect against high temperatures and chemical attacks, as well as for aesthetic and electrical purposes.
What’s changed since the last update?
