What is ISO 2063-1-Requirements for corrosion protection systems about?
ISO 2063 series discusses thermal spraying of zinc, aluminium and their alloys. The main objective of the ISO 2063 series is to
ISO 2063-1 is the first part in the multi-series that specifies requirements for the protection of iron and steel surfaces against corrosion by applying thermal-sprayed metallic coatings of zinc, aluminium or their alloys.
ISO 2063-1 covers the planning engineering of the corrosion protection system and for the constructive design of the components to be protected if the protection system is based upon a thermal-sprayed metallic coating.
ISO 2063-1 is valid for applying thermal-sprayed zinc and aluminium protection coatings against corrosion in the temperature range between −50 °C to +200 °C, taking into consideration the service conditions of any sealants used.
Note: Heat-resistant protective coatings of aluminium are covered by ISO 17834 and are not in the scope of this document.
Who is ISO 2063-1- Requirements for corrosion protection systems for?
ISO 2063-1 on thermal spraying of zinc, aluminium and alloys is relevant to:
- Corrosion protection system providers
- Designers of components
- Steel construction industry
- Structure and bridge construction
- Steel structures for water construction
- Onshore and offshore wind energy constructions
- Petrol and natural gas industry
- Marine industry
Why should you use ISO 2063-1- Requirements for corrosion protection systems?
Corrosion can reduce the safety, performance and reliability of your assets. To prevent this, coatings and efficient corrosion protection systems are a must. In this regard, thermal spraying is a generic category of coating procedures, in which a consumable is applied as a spray of finely separated molten or semi-molten droplets to create a coating.
In ISO 2063-1, requirements for the planning of the corrosion protection system and for the constructive design of the component to be protected are specified, where thermal spraying is intended to be the process for the deposition of the metallic corrosion protection.
Characteristic properties of the coating, e.g. coating thickness, minimum adhesive strength and surface appearance, are specified and test procedures for thermal-sprayed corrosion protection coatings of zinc, aluminium or their alloys are determined.
Guidance in ISO 2063-1 can help you with the protection of iron and steel surfaces from corrosion, erosion, and cavitation.
As a result, compliance with best industry requirements provided by ISO 2063-1 contributes to improved durability and wear resistance of components, thus enhancing its service-life.
