THERMAL SPRAY OF SUSPENSIONS &
SOLUTIONS SYMPOSIUM (TS4)
December 2-3 • Montreal
TS4 gives scientists and engineers interested in emerging
S&S thermal spray technologies a chance to address both re-
search challenges and development of industrial applications.
The conference features a balanced group of speakers from
industry, academia, and national laboratories. The show is
geared towards participants looking for innovative solutions
to improve coating performance in the aerospace, energy
generation (gas turbine and fuel cells), and transportation
industries. For more information, visit
INTRODUCTION TO THERMAL SPRAY
September 21-22 • Materials Park, Ohio
Instructor: Richard A. Sayman
As the thermal spray profession has changed, so has the
need to ensure safe and consistent methods for thermal spray
operators. ASM International brought together the leaders in
the Thermal Spray Society to compile their knowledge and ex-
perience in a comprehensive, easy to understand course. Visit
to learn more.
ASM HANDBOOK,
VOLUME 5A:
THERMAL SPRAY
TECHNOLOGY
Volume 5A is a replace-
ment for the Handbook of
Thermal Spray Technology,
edited by J.R. Davis (2004)
and provides an introduc-
tion to modern thermal spray
processes including plasma
spray, high velocity oxy-fuel,
and detonation gun deposi-
tion, as well as a description
of coating properties and
their wear, corrosion, and
thermal barrier characteris-
tics. 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, including electronics and semiconductors,
automotive, energy, and biomedical. Emergent thermal spray
market sectors such as aerospace and industrial gas turbines,
and important areas of growth such as advanced thermal bar-
rier materials, wear coatings, clearance control coatings, and
oxidation/hot corrosion resistant alloys also are reviewed. Vis-
it to learn more.
