THERMAL SPRAY OF SUSPENSIONS

& SOLUTIONS (S&S) SYMPOSIUM

(TS4)

DECEMBER 2-3

MONTREAL, CANADA

Scientists and engineers interested in

emerging S&S TS technologies will have a chance

to address both research challenges anddevelop-

ment of industrial applications. The conference

will comprise a balanced group of speakers from

industry, academia, and national laboratories.

The show is geared towards participants inter-

ested in advanced coating materials and pro-

cesses who are looking for innovative solutions

to improve coating performance in the aerospace,

energy generation (gas turbine and fuel cells), and transporta-

tion industries. As S&S TS technologies have the potential to re-

placemore expensive coating processes such as electron-beam

physical vapor deposition (EB-PVD) for deposition of advanced

thermal barrier coatings, they attract attention from OEMs,

equipment vendors, and research communities in North Amer-

ica and abroad. Visit

ASM HANDBOOK,

VOLUME 5A: THERMAL

SPRAY TECHNOLOGY

Volume 5A

is a replacement for the

Hand-

book of Thermal Spray Technology,

edited by

J.R. Davis (2004) and provides an introduc-

tion to modern thermal spray processes in-

cluding plasma spray, high velocity oxy-fuel,

and detonation gun deposition, as well as a

description of coating properties and their

wear, corrosion, and thermal barrier charac-

teristics. Principles, types of coatings, appli-

cations, performance, and testing/analysis

also are covered. A greatly expanded selection of

applications includes examples and figures from various in-

dustries, including electronics and semiconductors, automo-

tive, energy, and biomedical. Emergent thermal spray market

sectors such as aerospace and industrial gas turbines, and

important areas of growth such as advanced thermal barrier

materials, wear coatings, clearance control coatings, and ox-

idation/hot corrosion resistant alloys also are reviewed. Visit
