ASM Handbook, Volume 5A: Thermal Spray Technology
Volume 5A
is a replacement for the
Handbook of Thermal Spray Technology,
edited by J.R.
Davis (2004) and provides an introduction to modern thermal spray processes including plasma
spray, high velocity oxy-fuel, and detonation gun deposition, as well as a description of coat-
ing properties and their wear, corrosion, and thermal barrier characteristics. Principles, types
of coatings, applications, performance, and testing/analysis also are covered. A greatly
expanded selection of applications includes examples and figures from various industries, in-
cluding electronics and semicon-
ductors, automotive, energy, and
biomedical. Emergent thermal spray
market sectors such as aerospace
and industrial gas turbines, and im-
portant areas of growth such as ad-
vanced thermal barrier materials,
wear coatings, clearance control
coatings, and oxidation/hot corro-
sion resistant alloys also are re-
viewed. Visit

Nominations Sought for ASM Thermal Spray Society Board
The ASM TSS Nominating Committee is currently seek-
ing nominations to fill two board member positions. Candi-
dates for these director positions may come from any segment
of the thermal spray community, but ideally will have a focus
on the service or government research segments.
Nominees must be a member of the ASM Thermal Spray
Society and must be endorsed by five TSS members. Board
members whose terms are expiring may be eligible for nomi-
nation and possible re-election on an equal basis with any other
candidate.
Nominations must be received no later than March 1,
2015.
Forms can be found at
tss.asminternational.org. Contact
Luc Pouliot, ASM TSS Nominating Committee Chair, at
