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 . Contact
