C2.16/C2.16M:201X, Guide for Thermal-Spray Operator Qualification. This guide contains recommendations for thermal-spray operator qualification based on knowledge and skill testing. Twelve individual thermal-spray operator qualification tests (TSOQT) are included for engineering and corrosion control applications: one each for job knowledge, high velocity oxygen fuel (HVOF) spraying and flame spray-fusing, two for arc spraying, and three each for flame spraying and air-plasma spraying.
    Stakeholders: AWS, ANSI, Thermal Spray Community

C2.20/C2.20M:201X, This AWS standard is a specification for thermal spraying zinc anodes on steel reinforced concrete. This standard is formatted as an industrial process instruction. The scope includes: job description, safety, pass/fail job reference standards, feedstock materials, equipment, a step-by-step process instruction for surface preparation, thermal spraying, and quality control. There are two annexes: job control record and portable adhesion testing.
