The primary objective of metallographic examinations of thermally sprayed coatings is to reveal the constituents and structure of the coatings and substrates by means of the microscope after proper metallographic preparation is performed. Because of the diversity of coating types and the personal element, the standardization of metallographic preparation of thermally sprayed coatings is essential. An ASTM subcommittee was formed with the support of the ASM Thermal Spray Committee to provide the laboratories involved in coating characterization with guidelines that will provide consistent metallographic procedures that produce an accurate evaluation of the wide range of thermally sprayed coatings. The methods used to establish this standard will be discussed in this paper.
