1 Scope
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 it gives test methods for checking these
properties.
It does not deal with repairs to damaged metal
areas.
This International Standard applies to
Licensed Copy: Tom Magee, Howden Power, 30 October 2003, Uncontrolled Copy, (c) BSI
thermal-sprayed metallic coatings for the protection
of iron and steel against corrosion by applying zinc
or aluminium or their alloys to the surface to be
protected.
It does not, in general, apply to coatings obtained by
the application of metals other than zinc or
aluminium, although for other metals some of the
provisions are valid and may be adopted by
agreement between the interested parties.

3 Definitions
For the purposes of this International Standard, the
definitions given in ISO 2064 and in particular the
following, apply.
3.1
significant surface
the part of the article covered or to be covered by the
coating and for which the coating is essential for
serviceability and/or appearance
3.2
minimum local thickness
the lowest value of the local thickness found on the
significant surface of a single article
4 Manner of specifying requirements
When specifying the coating of articles by thermal
spraying in accordance with this International
Standard, the purchaser shall state, in addition to
the number of the International Standard, the
significant surface of the metal coating and its
thickness in accordance with the symbols indicated
in Table 1.
5 Classification

 EN 22063:1993

6 Manufacture Immediately before spraying, the surface shall be

dry and free from dust, grease, scale, rust and other
6.1 Preparation of surfaces to be coated by
contaminants including soluble salts.
thermal spraying1)
The surface shall be thoroughly cleaned and
roughened with a suitable abrasive grit. Blasting
shall be continued until the surface has a white
metallic appearance and uniform texture.

1) This subclause specifies the most important elements of surface preparation before thermal spraying of zinc, aluminium and

their alloys. For more detailed specifications, refer to ISO 8504-2, Preparation of steel substrates before application of paint and
related products — Surface preparation methods — Part 2: Abrasive blast-cleaning (to be published).

4 © BSI 01-1999

In all cases, the roughness of the surface shall be
verified by comparison with a reference surface
having similar properties to the workpiece,
prepared according to specifications agreed between
the interested parties.
Unless otherwise specified, one of the following
abrasives shall be used in the preparation of the
surface:
— hematitic chilled cast iron grit;
— aluminium oxide grit.
In certain cases in some countries2), other abrasives
may be used, by agreement between the interested
parties, but with special precautions to achieve
sufficient roughness to ensure the adhesion of the
sprayed metal.
The grit size of the abrasive is generally
between 0,5 mm and 1,5 mm.
The abrasive used, whatever its type, shall be clean
Licensed Copy: Tom Magee, Howden Power, 30 October 2003, Uncontrolled Copy, (c) BSI
and dry and, in particular, free from soluble salts. In
the case of abrasive blasting using compressed air,
the air shall be sufficiently clean and dry to prevent
contamination of the abrasive or the surface to be
sprayed with metal.
Furthermore, it is desirable to check the cleanliness
of the gritblasted surface using “grade Sa 3”
according to ISO 8501-1.
6.2 Coating metal
The coating metal shall comply with the following
conditions:
— Zinc: zinc having a composition in accordance
with type Zn 99,99 of ISO 752.
— Aluminium: aluminium of a quality at least
equal to that of type Al 99,5 (1050A) of ISO 209-1.
— Zinc alloys: alloy basis shall be Zn 99,99 zinc
(in accordance with ISO 752) and Al 99,7
aluminium [in accordance with
ISO 209-1 (Al 1070)]. The alloy composition shall
be indicated as in note 1) of Table 1. The
tolerance for alloy metals shall be ± 1 % of the
nominal percentage content unless otherwise
specified. For example, zinc-aluminium alloys
from 87 % zinc/13 % aluminium to 65 % zinc/35 %
aluminium can be used. The preferred alloy
is 85 % zinc/15 % aluminium. Appropriate
symbols shall be used.
— Aluminium alloy: aluminium alloy with 5 %
magnesium, Al Mg5 in accordance with
ISO 209-1 can be used.
2)
In some countries, the use of dry siliceous material is subject to statutory regulations.
© BSI 01-1999
EN 22063:1993
6.3 Thermal spraying
The thermal spraying shall be carried out after the
surface has been prepared by abrasive blasting,
within a period that allows the metal to be sprayed
onto a prepared surface which is still clean, dry and
not visibly oxidized.
This time allowed shall be as short as possible and
shall be less than 4 h depending on local conditions.
Spraying shall not be carried out under conditions
leading to condensation on the surface to be sprayed
and the surface shall be maintained at a
temperature above the dew-point.
Thermal spraying shall be performed when the steel
temperature is at least 3 °C above the dew-point to
avoid blistering.
If a deterioration of the surface to be coated is
observed, the preparation treatment shall be
repeated on the surface to be coated (see 6.1).
6.4 Sealing or painting
6.4.1 The purpose of metallic coating sealing is to
seal porosities as much as possible.
6.4.2 Natural sealing can be achieved by oxidation
of the metallic coating under normal environmental
exposure conditions when the resulting oxides,
hydroxides and/or basic salts are not soluble in this
environment.
6.4.3 Artificial sealing can be achieved either by
chemical conversion of the metallic coating surface
(by phosphating, reactive painting, etc.) or by
applying an appropriate paint system to close
porosities.
6.4.4 Painting of sealed or unsealed metallic
coatings may be done either for aesthetic reasons or
to extend the service life of the protective system.
6.4.5 Painting is not recommended after natural
sealing of the metallic coating.
6.4.6 Whether the metallic coating is sealed or not,
the system of painting shall be compatible with the
substrate, and shall meet the requirements for
durability, maintenance and resistance of the paint
to the exposure environment.
7 Required characteristics
7.1 Thickness
Metallic coatings deposited by thermal spraying are
defined by their minimum local thickness (see 3.2).
The method of measurement, the number and
distribution of the measurements over the whole
surface area treated shall be agreed upon between
the supplier and the purchaser.
5
 EN 22063:1993
7.1.1 Coatings with a surface area of
between 1 cm2 and 1 m2
In the case of coatings with a surface area of
between 1 cm2 and 1 m2, the local thickness at any
given point shall be the coating thickness measured
on a reference surface which is approximately 1 cm2
in area.
Since the various methods available produce
thickness determinations over measurement
surfaces of different sizes, one uses the following
methods to determine the local thickness at any
given point (see Figure 1):
— only one measurement, if the measurement
surface has an area of not less than 1 cm2;
— the arithmetic mean of 10 measurements
evenly distributed over a distance of
between 1 cm and 2 cm, in the case of curvilinear
or rectilinear measurements: this is the case of
the micro-graphic section;
Licensed Copy: Tom Magee, Howden Power, 30 October 2003, Uncontrolled Copy, (c) BSI
— only one measurement, if the diameter of the
measurement surface is greater than 5 mm;
— the arithmetic mean of two measurements
distributed within an area of 1 cm2, if the
diameter of the measurement surface lies
between 3 mm and 5 mm;
— the arithmetic mean of three measurements
distributed within an area of 1 cm2, if the
diameter of the measurement surface is less
than 3 mm;
— the arithmetic mean of five measurements
distributed within an area of 1 cm2, if pinpoint
measurements are taken.
7.1.2 Coatings with a surface area greater
than 1 m2
In the case of coatings with a surface area greater
than 1 m2, the local thickness at any given point is
the thickness of the coating measured on a reference
surface which shall be approximately 1 dm2 in area.
Since the various methods available produce
thickness determinations over measurement
surfaces of different sizes, the following methods are
used to determine the local thickness at any given
point:
— only one measurement, if the measurement
surface has an area of not less than 1 dm2;
— the arithmetic mean of 10 measurements
distributed over the reference square decimetre
in accordance with the diagram in Figure 2, if the
measurement surface is a pinpoint or lies
between a pinpoint and a few square centimetres.
6 © BSI 01-1999
7.1.3 Location of thickness test points
The measurement of the local thickness for the
purpose of determining the minimum characteristic
thickness of the coating takes place in practice at
points at which the thickness of the coating is
presumed to be at its lowest. These points, and their
number, may be defined by agreement between the
parties concerned and stipulated at the time of
placing the order. It is recommended that these
points should, wherever possible, be those specified
in the product standards. In the absence of any
agreement between the parties concerned, the
choice of these points is left to the discretion of the
customer.
7.1.4 Methods of measurement
The measurements of thickness shall be made by
magnetic measuring methods (see 8.1.2) which can
be used in all cases, provided that specifications are
observed concernng the number of measurements
which must be used to obtain the arithmetic mean.
In the case of dispute, use the micrographic
cross-section method if this is possible (see 8.1.3).
7.2 Appearance
The surface of the coating shall be of uniform
appearance, without blisters or bare patches, and
free from non-adhering metal and defects which can
be detrimental to the service life and expected use of
the protective coating.
7.3 Adhesion
If at the end of the test no separation from the basis
metal or within the metallic coating has occured, the
coating shall be deemed to have satisfied the
adhesion test (see 8.2).
8 Tests methods
8.1 Measurement of thickness
8.1.1 Field of application of the methods
8.1.1.1 Magnetic measurements have the advantage
of being non-destructive, rapid and capable of being
carried out directly at any point on the surface to be
controlled. Furthermore, the nature of the coating
(zinc, aluminium) sprayed onto a ferrous metal, and
the values of the standard thicknesses, contribute to
the achievement of satisfactory accuracy. As a
result, in conformity with the specifications of this
International Standard and by agreement between
the interested parties on the correct calibration of
magnetic instruments for a given sample, magnetic
measurements make it possible to carry out
effective and accurate acceptance checks.

8.1.1.2 The micrographic cross-section method, used
as a reference method for metallic coatings, is
difficult to perform correctly for a sprayed metallic
coating, and its interpretation may not give the
required accuracy in view of the geometrical surface
irregularities presented by the basis metal at the
interface and by the coating metal at the surface.
Therefore, this method shall be used only after prior
agreement between the interested parties, the test
being made according to the requirements of 8.1.3.

8.1.2 Magnetic measuring method
The tests shall be carried out according to ISO 2178.
8.1.3 Micrographic cross-section
8.1.3.1 Principle
Micrographic examination by means of a
microscope, on the cross-section of a test piece cut
from the sample, in accordance with the
specifications of ISO 1463.
8.1.3.2 Comments
In order to prevent the separation of the coating
from the substrate and rounding of the edges, the
test piece shall be mounted in an appropriate
mounting material such as a plastic or a low melting
point alloy. The surface to be examined shall be
carefully polished with a suitable material.
Ten measurements shall be made, uniformly
distributed along one of the sides of the test piece
and covering approximately the 20 mm length of the
cross-section (object surface), and the arithmetic
mean of these measurements shall be taken.
8.2 Adhesion test3)
The choice of the test method and its interpretation
shall be carried out by agreement between the

Exert an increasing force normal to the surface on
to separate the coating from the basis metal.
The difficulty of reproducing such tests in two
different laboratories makes a comparison of test
results unpractical. In consequence, this test
method can only be applied within one laboratory to
compare coating adhesion regularity, it being
understood that tests shall always be carried out
under the same conditions of installation and by the
same operator using the same adhesive on the same
coating type.
NOTE A description of the method to determine the tensile
adhesive strength is given in EN 582 “Thermal
spraying-Determination of tensile adhesive strength”.
