This specification covers thermal spray processes for original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and the repair of machinery components. The scope includes (1) recommended applications, (2) management and engineering requirements, (3) equipment and facility requirements, (4) feedstock materials, and (5) application processes for thermal spray coatings.

The thermal spray processes covered by this standard are combustion, high velocity oxyfuel or airfuel, electric arc, and plasma processes. These processes use either powder and/or wire as feedstock.

Development of this standard was initiated at the request of the U.S. Navy to replace MIL-STD-1687A (SH), Thermal Spray Processes for Naval Ship Machinery Applications.

Others may use this standard and annexes to establish contract document requirements between equipment owners (purchaser) and thermal spray coating contractors where they may choose to invoke all or only a portion of this specification’s requirements as fits the needs of their work.
