Dorfman Inducted into Thermal Spray Hall of Fame
Mitchell R. Dorfman, FASM, Sulzer Metco Fel-
low, will be inducted into the Thermal Spray Hall of
Fame on May 21 during the ITSC Plenary Session in
Barcelona, Spain. Dorfman is being recognized “for
innovations in thermal spray turbine engine coat-
ings, and for exceptional contributions to the ther-
mal spray industry and technical community, and for
dedicated mentoring of next-generation thermal
sprayers.” He received his B.S. in Mechanical Engineering in
1978 and M.S. in Materials Science in 1979 from State Univer-
sity of New York at Stony Brook. He is internationally known
for his development of materials for thermal spray, particularly
carbides for wear resistance, zirconias for thermal barriers, and
various materials for abradables. He holds 16 patents and more
than 60 publications or presentations. Dorfman served on a
number of TSS committees, is a past president of TSS, and cur-
rently serves on the ASM Board. He was named ASM Fellow
in 2010.

Introduction to Thermal Spray
July 7- 8
Materials Park, Ohio
Thermal spray has evolved from a technology de-
signed to be a cost effective method of repairing worn
components and machined parts to a process used to
provide improved part performance and add longer life
to components. As the thermal spray profession has
changed, so has the need to ensure safe and consistent
methods for thermal spray operators. ASM International
brought together the leaders in the Thermal Spray Soci-
ety to compile their knowledge and experience in a com-
prehensive, easy-to-understand course. To learn more,

Thermal Spray Safety Management
July 10
Materials Park, Ohio
This course focuses on key elements of a comprehen-
sive health and safety system using the U.S. Occupational
Safety and Health Standard 29 CFR 1910 as a basis. The
course provides necessary and up-to-date information to
support businesses complying with this mandatory stan-
dard. Numerous examples showing the practical applica-
tion of the standard to the real world workplace in a typical
thermal spray operating environment will be given. To
