THERMAL SPRAY SOCIETY INDUCTS THREE
INTO THE THERMAL SPRAY HALL OF FAME
Three professors and leading researchers in thermal spray
technologywill be inducted into the Thermal SprayHall of Fame
during the ITSC Plenary Session, taking place May 12 in Long
Beach, Calif.
ChristianCoddet is recognized
“for developing innovative thermal
spray techniques and applications
and for developing international
collaboration programs dedicated
to thermal spray research in devel-
oping countries.” Coddet has been
engaged in thermal spraying for 30
years. As a professor and head of
IRTES-LERMPS University of Tech-
nology of Belfort-Montbeliard, France, he established the in-
ternationally recognized surface engineering laboratory, which
includes thermal spraying activities, PVD films, additive manu-
facturing, and powder manufacturing. He is very active in de-
veloping many international collaboration programs dedicated
to thermal spray research and applications. Coddet is a 26-year
member of ASM and member of the TSS Journal of Thermal
Spray Technology Committee.
Lech Pawlowski is cited “for sustained and innovative
thermal spray research and development and significant
contributions to the fundamental
and technical advancement of ther-
mal spraying.” A professor at the
University of Limoges, France, he
contributed to new aspects of ther-
mal spray, in particular, the suspen-
sion and solution plasma sprayed
oxides and coatings, conducting
experiments and modeling of the
phenomena occurring during flight
in plasma spray source, and during
deposition of coatings. He authored the textbook, The Science
and Engineering of Thermal Spray Coatings, which has been
translated to Chinese and cited 903 times. Pawlowski is asso-
ciate editor of the Journal of Thermal Spray Technology and
one of the original creators of the European Thermal Spray
Association.
Sanjay Sampath, FASM, is
recognized “for innovative interdis-
ciplinary thermal spray research
bridging the gap between funda-
mental science and industrial prac-
tice through better understanding
of coating properties and the de-
velopment of advanced diagnostic
tools.” Sampath is a professor and
