Standardization in Quality Control of Thermal Spray Coatings (part 2)

From IMR Test Labs
 

 

In Essen at the ITSC2002, the initial results of the EACMT (European Airline Committee for Materials & Technology) Sub-Committee on Standardization in Quality Control of Thermal Spray Coatings for the Aircraft Industry were presented [1]. The ITSC Orlando 2003 presentation will quickly summarize this past work and then present the latest progress on standardization concerning frequency of testing (for quality control) and metallographic evaluation to common photo standards. Focus will be on the definitions photographs and typical rating photos of specific coatings.
