BS ISO 22779-2006 PDF

Full title and description

STB BS ISO 22779-2006 — Metallic coatings — Physical vapour‑deposited coatings of aluminium — Specification and test methods. This product page covers the international ISO standard (ISO 22779:2006), and notes its national adoptions (for example as BS ISO 22779:2006 and listings under national catalogues marked St/Ст ISO 22779-2006).

Abstract

ISO 22779:2006 specifies requirements and test methods for aluminium coatings deposited by physical vapour deposition (PVD). It defines expected coating properties and the test procedures used to assess coatings applied to a range of substrates including mild and low‑alloy steels, high‑strength steels, corrosion‑resisting steels, aluminium and titanium alloys, and other materials as appropriate.

Key bibliographic and lifecycle metadata above are taken from ISO’s record for ISO 22779:2006 and national adoption records.

Scope

Specifies requirements and test methods for aluminium coatings produced by physical vapour deposition (PVD) and applied to a variety of substrate materials. The scope covers coating composition, thickness ranges, adhesion and mechanical behaviour, corrosion performance, appearance and appropriate test/inspection procedures to verify conformity. The standard is intended to be used where PVD aluminium coatings are applied for protective or decorative purposes on metal components.

Key topics and requirements

• Definition of PVD aluminium coating types and intended substrate combinations.
• Coating specification parameters: nominal thickness, uniformity, and permitted tolerances.
• Adhesion and mechanical performance tests (methods to assess bond strength and resistance to mechanical damage).
• Corrosion resistance test methods relevant to aluminium PVD coatings.
• Appearance and visual inspection criteria (surface finish, defects, colour/uniformity).
• Sampling, test frequency and acceptance criteria for production and quality control.

The items above summarize the principal technical requirements and test-method focus of ISO 22779:2006.

Typical use and users

Primary users are PVD coating manufacturers and subcontractors, metal‑finishing service providers, quality and testing laboratories, specifiers and purchasers in automotive, aerospace, industrial hardware, architectural metalwork and electronics industries. Standards committees, conformity assessment bodies and procurement teams also use the standard to define contractual coating requirements and acceptance testing.

Related standards

Related documents include other ISO and national standards on metallic coatings, PVD processes and test methods produced by ISO/TC 107 and its subcommittees, and national adoptions such as BS ISO 22779:2006. When applying ISO 22779 it is common to reference complementary test standards for corrosion, adhesion and thickness measurement from ISO or national bodies. National listings or reprints may appear under catalogue codes such as St/Ст ISO 22779‑2006 in some collections.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: ISO 22779:2006 is an international standard specifying requirements and test methods for aluminium coatings produced by physical vapour deposition (PVD). It is intended to standardize specification and testing for these coatings.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers coating types, applicable substrates, specification parameters (thickness, uniformity), test methods for adhesion, corrosion and appearance, and sampling/acceptance criteria used in production and inspection.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Coating manufacturers, surface‑treatment processors, OEM procurement/specification engineers (automotive, aerospace, architecture, electronics), testing laboratories and standards bodies use it to set and verify coating performance.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: As recorded in ISO’s lifecycle information, ISO 22779:2006 is the published edition (2006) and has been subject to ISO’s systematic review process; it was confirmed in review cycles (most recently recorded confirmation in 2023). No newer ISO replacement was listed at the time of the cited records; users should verify the ISO catalogue for any amendments or a newer revision before applying the standard.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: It is part of the body of ISO work on metallic coatings (handled by ISO/TC 107 and related subcommittees). While not a numbered series like ISO 9000, it is typically used alongside other ISO standards and national test methods for metallic coatings and PVD processes.

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: Aluminium PVD, physical vapour deposition, metallic coatings, coating specification, adhesion testing, corrosion testing, BS ISO 22779, ISO 22779:2006.
