Full title and description

Thermal spraying — Wires, rods and cords for flame and arc spraying — Classification and technical supply conditions. This International Standard specifies classification and technical supply conditions for metal and non‑metal wires (solid and cored), rods and cords intended for thermal spraying, with emphasis on arc and flame spraying processes.

Abstract

This standard defines a classification system and the minimum technical supply conditions for wires, rods and cords used in flame and arc thermal spraying. It covers forms (solid, cored), material types (metallic and non‑metallic), designation and marking, and the key requirements that suppliers and purchasers should use to specify and accept these products for thermal spraying applications.

Scope

Specifies requirements for the classification of wires, rods and cords (both metallic and non‑metallic, solid and cored) intended for thermal spraying, with particular application to flame and arc spraying processes. The standard covers designation, classification, marking, packaging and the technical supply conditions needed for procurement and quality control. It does not provide detailed process parameters for spraying operations themselves but describes the product characteristics required for reliable coating production.

Key topics and requirements

• Classification system for wires, rods and cords by material type and form (solid, cored).
• Designation and marking rules to ensure traceability and correct selection for spraying processes.
• Technical supply conditions, including material composition, dimensional tolerances, surface condition and acceptable deviations.
• Packaging and handling recommendations to preserve product condition prior to spraying.
• References to relevant test methods and related standards for verification and conformity.

Typical use and users

Used by manufacturers and suppliers of thermal spray feedstock (wires, rods, cords), coating applicators and contractors performing arc or flame spraying, purchasing and procurement engineers specifying feedstock for production coatings, quality assurance and testing laboratories, and standards bodies for harmonized product supply conditions. The standard is intended to support consistent material selection, procurement and inspection in industrial thermal spraying applications.

Related standards

Supersedes ISO 14919:2015 (previous edition). It is part of the suite of ISO/TC 107 standards on thermal spraying and thermally sprayed coatings (other related documents cover coating testing, materials, and process specifications). National adoptions and EN/BS implementations exist (e.g., BS EN ISO 14919:2023).
