Aerospace Metallography and Coating Evaluation
Collaboration between the AAIS, IMR Test Labs & ASM International |

The aerospace industry consists of a large number of engine manufacturers, supported by a far greater number of suppliers. Each manufacturer often has their own specifications relating to coating evaluation and disposition. For that reason, IMR Test Labs has developed a training course to meet the training needs of the entire industry.
Students are taught how to be “problem solvers”, capable of not only preparing and rating aerospace samples but also understanding how the observed coating structure relates to critical processing variables. Students will benefit from training specific to issues encountered in their laboratory.
The accurate evaluation of aerospace coatings is contingent upon proper metallographic preparation. Poor metallography can lead to false conclusions about coating integrity or spray booth parameters. Worse yet, a faulty evaluation can lead to bad parts “escaping” into service. Therefore, all training programs at IMR Test Labs begin with the Fundamentals of Aerospace Metallography module.

The Metallography module covers a wide range of topics relating to the preparation and evaluation of aerospace coatings. Emphasis is placed on teaching the student to understand the role that different types of equipment and metallographic consumables play in revealing a true coating structure. The Thermal Spray and Diffusion Coatings modules cover both the processing side of these coatings as well as definitions critical to their evaluation.
The laboratory portion of these modules is designed to teach students to recognize critical features common to coatings. In both the lecture and lab, students will be presented with sample coatings containing a number of different features which are commonly encountered during evaluation.
The instructors will work with the students to interpret and apply the relevant specifications in order to efficiently and accurately disposition coating quality. Students are encouraged to bring any problem samples of their own to the class.
