6、 2015iiiAWS C2.21M/C2.21: 2015Statement on the Use of American Welding Society StandardsAll standards (codes, specifications, recommended practices, methods, classifications, and guides) of the American Welding Society (AWS) are voluntary consensus standards that have been developed in accordance wi

7、th the rules of the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). When AWS American National Standards are either incorporated in, or made part of, documents that are included in federal or state laws and regulations, or the regulations of other governmental bodies, their provisions carry the full l

8、egal authority of the statute. In such cases, any changes in those AWS standards must be approved by the governmental body having statutory jurisdiction before they can become a part of those laws and regulations. In all cases, these standards carry the full legal authority of the contract or other

9、document that invokes the AWS standards. Where this contractual relationship exists, changes in or deviations from requirements of an AWS standard must be by agreement between the contracting parties.AWS American National Standards are developed through a consensus standards development process that

10、 brings together volunteers representing varied viewpoints and interests to achieve consensus. While AWS administers the process and establishes rules to promote fairness in the development of consensus, it does not independently test, evaluate, or verify the accuracy of any information or the sound

11、ness of any judgments contained in its standards.AWS disclaims liability for any injury to persons or to property, or other damages of any nature whatsoever, whether special, indirect, consequential, or compensatory, directly or indirectly resulting from the publication, use of, or reliance on this

12、standard.

16、. Users of this standard accept any and all liabilities for infringement of any patent or trade name items. AWS disclaims liability for the infringement of any patent or product trade name resulting from the use of this standard.AWS does not monitor, police, or enforce compliance with this standard,

17、 nor does it have the power to do so.Official interpretations of any of the technical requirements of this standard may only be obtained by sending a request, in writing, to the appropriate technical committee. Such requests should be addressed to the American Welding Society, Attention: Managing Di

18、rector, Technical Services Division, 8669 NW 36 St, # 130, Miami, FL 33166 (see Annex D). With regard to technical inquiries made concerning AWS standards, oral opinions on AWS standards may be rendered. These opinions are offered solely as a convenience to users of this standard, and they do not co

19、nstitute professional advice. Such opinions represent only the personal opinions of the particular individuals giving them. These individuals do not speak on behalf of AWS, nor do these oral opinions constitute official or unofficial opinions or interpretations of AWS. In addition, oral opinions are

20、 informal and should not be used as a substitute for an official interpretation.This standard is subject to revision at any time by the AWS C2 Committee on Thermal Spraying. It must be reviewed every five years, and if not revised, it must be either reaffirmed or withdrawn. Comments (recommendations

21、, additions, or deletions) and any pertinent data that may be of use in improving this standard are required and should be addressed to AWS Headquarters.

30、foreword is not a part of AWS C2.21M/C2.21:2015, Specification for Thermal Spray Equipment Performance Verification, but is included for information purposes only.Predictable, consistent, and reliable thermal spray equipment performance is essential for proper application of the thermal spray proces

31、s. Verifying the thermal spray equipment is operating according to the manufacturers specifications, and established standards is an important part of a thermal spray quality assurance program.The first version of this standard, titled Specification for Thermal Spray Equipment Acceptance Inspection,

32、 was published in 2003 as a response to ISO 14231:2000, Thermal SprayingAcceptance Inspection of Thermal Spraying Equipment. The purpose of the standard was to provide a systematic approach to assure a purchaser the equipment has the capability to operate as the manufacturer intended. While verifica

33、tion of function at the time of purchase was a good first step, the industry also has a need to assure ongoing functional capability.The change in title of this second edition reflects an expanded scope, which now includes a definition of the ongoing requirements for verification of equipment perfor

34、mance. Prescriptive design and performance requirements have been eliminated. Calibration considerations, processes, and procedures have been incorporated.Comments and suggestions for the improvement of this standard are welcome. They should be sent to the Secretary, AWS C2 Committee on Thermal Spra

This standard describes the essential elements of a procedure to verify performance of equipment and systems used for thermal spraying. These equipment and systems include the thermal spray gun, gas con

42、sole, control apparatus, and feedstock supply system. Other external systems and apparatus such as a gas or fuel management system, sound abatement, dust collection, automation, fire suppression, and finishing systems are beyond the scope of this document.This specification does not address all of t

43、he thermal spray process variations or equipment configurations. However, the principles presented may be a starting point for establishing a customized verification procedure.It is not the intent of this standard to address process validation; to ensure a process is producing, or capable of produci

44、ng, desired coatings. This specification does not address all of the essential process variables necessary for thermal spray process qualification. This specification does not address equipment design standards, provisions, requirements, codes, or regulations that may apply to the thermal spray equi

45、pment or its installation.The standard can be applied at the time of installation and any other times or intervals the User deems appropriate to ensure the equipment is capable of operating to the manufacturers specifications or other specifications deemed applicable by the User. 1.2 Units of Measur

46、e. This standard makes use of both the International System of Units (SI) and U.S. Customary units. The latter are shown within brackets ( ) or in appropriate columns in tables and figures. The measurements may not be exact equivalents; therefore, each system must be used independently.1.3 Safety. S
