Full title and description

ISO 2063-2:2017 — Thermal spraying — Zinc, aluminium and their alloys — Part 2: Execution of corrosion protection systems. This part of ISO 2063 specifies requirements and recommendations for the execution of metallic corrosion-protection coatings applied by thermal spray (zinc, aluminium and their alloys), covering surface preparation, spraying, testing, post-treatments (for example sealing), quality assurance, on-site execution and personnel qualification.

Abstract

ISO 2063-2:2017 provides requirements for manufacturers, contractors and supervisors responsible for applying thermal-sprayed zinc, aluminium and their alloys for corrosion protection of steel structures and components. It addresses surface preparation, thermal-spraying processes, inspection and test methods, minimum coating thickness and adhesion, post-treatments and documentation. The standard applies to workshop and on-site application (including repair) for protection in the temperature range −50 °C to +200 °C and excludes heat‑resistant aluminium coatings (covered by ISO 17834).

Scope

Specifies requirements for the execution of corrosion-protection coatings obtained by thermal spraying of zinc, aluminium and their alloys onto steel. Applies to new fabrication in workshops, on-site application and on-site repair after assembly. Covers surface preparation, spray materials and equipment, process parameters, required coating thickness and adhesion, inspection and test procedures, sealing and other post-treatments, environmental and health & safety measures, and the qualification of spray and testing personnel. Temperature application range covered is approximately −50 °C to +200 °C. Heat‑resistant aluminium coatings are excluded.

Key topics and requirements

• Surface preparation requirements and assessment (references to visual cleanliness and roughness standards).
• Specification of acceptable spray materials (zinc, aluminium and alloys) and conformity checks.
• Minimum coating thickness classes and measurement methods.
• Adhesion and cohesion requirements and test methods (e.g., pull-off testing / ISO 4624 and bend tests where applicable).
• Process controls and parameter verification for thermal-spray equipment.
• Requirements for post-treatments including sealing and surface finishing where specified.
• Quality assurance, documentation and inspection procedures for manufacturer and on-site works.
• Qualification and competence requirements for spray operators and testing personnel.
• On-site execution controls: environmental conditions, blasting and contamination prevention, safety and waste handling.
• Limits of applicability (temperature range) and exclusions (heat‑resistant aluminium coatings covered by ISO 17834).

Typical use and users

Used by corrosion-design engineers, coating-specification authors, fabrication and maintenance contractors, surface-treatment manufacturers, quality assurance and inspection bodies, asset owners and maintenance teams responsible for steel structures (bridges, offshore structures, buildings, industrial plant) where thermal-sprayed zinc or aluminium coatings are specified for corrosion protection.

Related standards

Commonly used together with ISO 2063-1:2017 (Part 1 — Design and planning), ISO 17834 (heat-resistant aluminium coatings), ISO 8501 and ISO 8503 series (surface cleanliness and roughness), ISO 4624 (pull-off adhesion test) and earlier ISO 2063:2005 (withdrawn). Often published/adopted as EN ISO 2063-2:2017 in European collections.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: ISO 2063-2:2017 is the part of the ISO 2063 series that specifies execution requirements for applying thermal-sprayed zinc, aluminium and alloy coatings for corrosion protection of steel structures.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers surface preparation, spray materials and equipment, process parameters, minimum thickness and adhesion requirements, inspection and testing, post-treatments (for example sealing), on-site execution controls, documentation, and personnel qualification for coatings applied by thermal spray.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Coating manufacturers and installers, design and corrosion engineers, specification writers, inspectors, asset owners and maintenance contractors working on steel structures that require thermal-sprayed metallic corrosion protection.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: ISO 2063-2:2017 is the published Part 2 edition from 2017 and replaced the earlier single‑part ISO 2063 (2005); the 2005 edition was withdrawn. As of its 2017 publication it is the current Part 2; users should check with their national standards body for the very latest confirmation or revision status before use.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: Yes. It is Part 2 of the ISO 2063 series. Part 1 (ISO 2063-1:2017) addresses design and planning for thermal-sprayed zinc/aluminium corrosion-protection systems.

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: thermal spraying; zinc; aluminium; corrosion protection; surface preparation; coating thickness; adhesion; sealing; on-site application; operator qualification.
