Volume 22
Best Paper Awards
The Journal of Thermal Spray Technology (JTST)
an-
nounces the winners of the
JTST
Volume 22 Best Papers
Awards, as chosen by an international committee of expert
judges. The awards were presented at the International Thermal
Spray Conference & Exposition 2014, in Barcelona, Spain.
Voting resulted in a tie between two papers, “Plasma-
Sprayed Thermal Barrier Coatings: New Materials, Processing
Issues, and Solutions,” by Georg Mauer, Maria Ophelia Jarligo,
Daniel E. Mack, and Robert Vaßen, and “Colour Matching in
Decorative Thermally Sprayed Glass Coatings,” by Thierry
Poirier, Pierre Bertrand, and Christian Coddet.
The Editorial Committee believes it is important to evalu-
ate the quality of engineering and scientific contributions pub-
lished in
JTST
and to provide recognition of excellent work
and its publication. Each paper is reviewed and evaluated on its
merits for scientific and engineering content, originality, and
presentation style. The two papers are recognized as outstand-
ing and the authors received awards of recognition for their ex-
cellent work.
The international committee of judges led by Dr. Roland
Seals, Chair of the Journal of Thermal Spray Technology
Best Paper Subcommittee, includes: David Bucci, Andrew
Gouldstone, Jose Maria Guilemany, Jan Ilavsky, Keehyun
Kim, Timothy McKechnie, Shiladitya Paul, James Ruud,
Richard Schmid, Igor Sevostianov, Atin Sharma, Philip
Shipway, Yoshiki Tsunekawa, Erja Turunen, Anirudha
Vaidya, and Petri Vuoristo.
Congratulations are extended to
the winning authors from the JTST
Editorial Board and the ASM Ther-
mal Spray Society Executive Board
of Directors.
