HVO COLLOQUIUM 2015: HIGH VELOCITY
OXY-FUEL FLAME SPRAY IN FOCUS
For experts fromthe field of thermal spray, the city of Erd-
ing is now closely linked with an exciting branch of this tech-
nology: High velocity oxy-fuel flame spray (HVOF). On October
29-30, Erdingwill againbecomeahub for specialistsas thehost
of the 10th HVOF Colloquium. Topics such as environmental
protection, energy efficiency, standards, training, and occu-
pational safety will be addressed. Coating businesses and
developers will obtain insights into the practical application
of HVOF spraying and the accompanying exposition will offer
ample scope for face-to-face discussions. Presentations will be
translated simultaneously into German and English. Organiz-
ers include the Association of Thermal Sprayers GTS e.V., Linde
AG, and Helmut-Schmidt University Hamburg. Visit

CELEBRATE THERMAL SPRAY WEEK FROM
JULY 6-10 WITH ONE OF THESE COURSES
INTRODUCTION TO THERMAL SPRAY, JULY 6-7
MATERIALS PARK, OHIO
INSTRUCTOR: RICHARD A. SAYMAN
Thermal spray has evolved from a technology designed
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 en-
sure safe and consistent methods for thermal spray operators.
ASM International brings together the leaders in the Thermal
Spray Society to compile their knowledge and experience in a
comprehensive, easy-to-understand course.
THERMAL SPRAY FOR GAS AND OIL
INDUSTRIES, JULY 10
MATERIALS PARK, OHIO
INSTRUCTOR: ANDRÉ MCDONALD
This course is beneficial to thermal spray operators in the
oil and gas industry. Given the special needs of the oil and gas
sector for wear and corrosion resistant coatings with high lon-
gevity, the certification process and validation of the coatings
produced by those examining them will need to be different.
Therefore, this course includes training and testing informa-
tion that applies specifically to the oil and gas sector.

HVOF Conference Hall
THERMAL SPRAY TECHNOLOGY, JULY 8-9
MATERIALS PARK, OHIO
INSTRUCTOR: CHRISTOPHER C. BERNDT,
HOF, FASM
This course provides a thorough grounding and under-
standing of thermal spray processes, depicts complex scientif-
ic concepts in terms of simple physical models, and integrates
this knowledge to practical engineering applications and com-
monly accepted thermal spray practices.
