ISO 2063:2005

ISO 2063:2005 applies to thermal-sprayed metallic coatings for the protection of iron and steel against corrosion by applying zinc or aluminium or their alloys to uncoated surfaces to be protected. This International Standard deals with characteristic properties and gives test methods for coatings obtained by the spraying of zinc and aluminium and their alloys for the general purpose of corrosion protection. It gives firstly the definition, classification and symbols for these coatings in relation to their thickness. It then deals with the preparation of surfaces, application of coatings and their characteristic properties: namely, thickness, appearance and adhesion. Finally ISO 2063:2005 gives test methods for checking these properties.
