given in Table 12 of JIS H 8260
2) Symbol indicating the classification of oxide ceramics given in Table 9 of JIS H

code number shall be suffixed to the symbol for identification. For the sprayed coat-
ing for wear resistance specified in 6.3, the symbol indicating the classification of
sprayed coatings and the symbol with a number indicating the grade shall be used.
5 Application process
5.1 General
The sprayed coatings shall be so processed that the requirements specified in 5.2 to
5.6 are satisfied, with attention to the safety and health at all times (see relevant regu-
lations).
An example of working standard for thermal spraying is given in Annex A for refer-
ence.
5.2 Structure, shape and surface condition of sprayed product

The structure and shape of products or parts to which thermal spraying is applied
shall not cause uncoated area of spray particles due to dead angles, deformation nor
defective ventilation in the thermal spraying work of product inner surface. The sub-
strate surface should be free from significant deposit of oils and fats etc. and noticeable
oxidized scales, rusts, flaws etc.
5.3 Pretreatment
--`,,`,``,`,,,,,,,,``,,`,,``,```-`-`,,`,,`,`,,`---
The substrate surface before thermal spraying shall be sufficiently cleaned and
roughened by degreasing-cleaning, oil-removal, oxide-removal and by abrasive-blasting
using an adequate blasting material. Immediately before the thermal spraying, the
surface shall be dried and be free from contaminants, such as dusts, oils and fats, oxi-
dized scales and rusts. Depending on the intended use of sprayed product, a pretreat-
ment (such as threading method, grooving method, knurling method, slotting method or
undercoat spraying) which improves the adhesiveness shall be performed.
5.4 Thermal spraying

The application of thermal spraying shall be completed before the clean/dry condi-
tion on the substrate surface of sprayed product is maintained and the surface oxidiza-
tion is visually observed. The air used for thermal spraying or cooling shall be clean
and dry. Where necessary, preheating shall be carried out for removing water and re-
laxing the thermal stress of the coating. The spraying angle shall be possibly a right
angle and at least 45°. If necessary, the thermal spraying shall be carried out cooling.
5.5 Post-treatment
According to the intended use of sprayed product, the sealing treatment, heating
treatment, machining treatment, chemical treatment etc. shall be carried out for im-
provement of coating function. The sealing treatment shall be carried out either by

3
H 8304: 2017
chemical conversion of coating surface or by using an appropriate sealer to fill the pores
of coating.
5.6 Outdoor thermal spraying work

In the outdoor thermal spraying work, the protective measures against rain and
wind, such as a safe protective sheet shall be taken because the maintaining conditions
of thermal spraying materials, thermal spraying facility or the like depend on the
weather and it is possible to give adverse effects on the coating quality of sprayed prod-
uct.
6 Quality

The test method of thermal shock resistance using heating furnace shall be as fol-
lows.
a) Equipment, as follows
1) Heating furnace An electric resistance furnace capable of heating the tempera-
ture inside the furnace up to 1 000 °C and of reheating up to the test tempera-
ture within 5 min after inserting the test piece in the furnace shall be used.
2) Temperature regulator, capable of regulating the test temperature to ± 5 °C
shall be used.
3) Test piece tray for heating, made of heat resistant material shall be used. An
example of flat plate is shown in Figure 2.
4) Cooling water tank, used for cooling the heated test piece by water and that
made of stainless steel is desirable.
b) Preparation of test piece The product itself or the product cut into 50 mm
± 1 mm in length and 50 mm ± 1 mm in width shall be used as a test piece. For
cutting out the test piece, the product is cut from the coating side by a wet method,
using the microscope sample preparation cutting machine. When a test piece cannot
be cut out from the product, the test piece prepared from the material of the same
quality as the product under the same conditions shall be used. In this case, the

10
H 8304: 2017
dimensions of test piece shall be a flat plate or disc of not less than 20 cm 2 in ap-
parent surface area of coating and 5 mm ± 1 mm in thickness.
c) Operation, as follows.
1) The setting temperature of electric furnace for testing shall be 900°C ± 10°C for
the material containing not less than 68 % (mass fraction) zirconium oxide, and
be 800°C ± 10°C for other materials.
2) The test piece shall be inserted in the heating furnace maintained at the test tem-
perature. After the temperature inside the furnace reaches the test temperature
again, the test piece shall be kept for 10 min ± 10 s and taken out, then immedi-
ately put into water to be quenched.
NOTE: Instead of quenching in water, the test piece may be air-cooled at the
ordinary temperature, reinserted in the heating furnace and heated
as above, retained and aircooled 10 times.
3) After quenching or air-cooling, the presence of cracks, coating shall be examined
for peeling or exfoliation visually or by using a magnifying glass of up to 20 times
in magnification. The defects within 1 mm from the cutting section of coating
shall not be included for the judgement.
