Nominations Sought for
ASM Thermal Spray Society Board
The ASM TSS Nominating Committee is currently
seeking nominations to fill two board member positions.
Candidates 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.
Nomineesmust be amember of the ASMThermal Spray
Society and must be endorsed by five TSS members. Board
members whose terms are expiring may be eligible for nom-
ination and possible reelection on an equal basis with any
other candidate. Nominations must be received no later
than March 1. Forms can be found at tss.asminternational.

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 plas-
ma spray, high velocity
oxy-fuel, and detonation
gun deposition, as well
as a description of coat-
ing properties and their
wear, corrosion, and ther-
mal barrier characteris-
tics. Principles, types of
coatings, applications,
performance, and test-
ing/analysis are also cov-
ered. A greatly expanded
selection of applications
includes examples and
figures from various industries, including electronics and
semiconductors, automotive, energy, and biomedical.
Emerging thermal spray market sectors such as aero-
space and industrial gas turbines, and important areas of
growth such as advanced thermal barrier materials, wear
coatings, clearance control coatings, and oxidation/hot
corrosion resistant alloys are also reviewed. Visit
