Military and Defense Coating Process Specifications


MIL-STD-1687A


MIL-STD-1687A is a specification for thermal spraying used in a variety of naval ship machinery applications. Originally written for machine element repair applications, the specification covers a range of materials and processes including flame and plasma sprayed metals and ceramics. Its broad scope has allowed MIL-STD-1687A to be used as a guide for many OEM thermal spray applications, such as valves and shafts, as well.


MIL-STD-2138A


The MIL-STD-2138A is a military standard for metal sprayed coatings of aluminum used to improve the corrosion resistance of steel shipboard surfaces and components. MIL-STD-2138 coatings are used around hatchways, vents, and other penetrations where steel is or may be exposed, and anywhere steel surfaces are likely to experience high temperature exposure to salt water. The standard specifies rigid protocols for surface preparation and operator performance to ensure consistent high coating quality and durability.


AWS-C2.23M/C2.23:2018


AWS-C2.23M/C2.23:2018 Spray Coatings (metallizing) covers the erection, repair, and alteration of corrosion resistant aluminum and zinc metal sprayed coatings on structural steel, including shop and field application. The specification covers metal spray equipment, safety requirements, and quality control procedures. The AWS-C2.23M/C2.23:2018 standard provides guidance on the selection, application, quality control, and safety of metal spray coatings for structural steel exposed to corrosive environments.
