THERMAL SPRAY SOCIETY INDUCTS FOUR
INTO THERMAL SPRAY HALL OF FAME
Four leaders and innovators in thermal spray technology
will be inducted into the Thermal Spray Hall of Fame at ITSC in
Shanghai, taking place in May. The 2016 inductees include:
Chuanxian Ding is being recognized
“for pioneering the science and technolo-
gy of thermal spraying in China especial-
ly in the area of emerging applications of
coatings and for mentoring students and
young professionals.” Ding has been a
professor at the Shanghai Institute of Ce-
ramics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, and
head of plasma spraying coating research
group since 1990. He has conducted fundamental research and
technological developments in the field of oxide, carbide, and
graded, metal-oxide coatings with applications in many indus-
tries in China. He is a member of the Chinese Academy of Engi-
neering and serves as a technical chair of ITSC 2016.
Seiji Kuroda, FASM, is cited for “for
pioneering research on residual stress
in thermal spray coatings, development
of in-situ beam curvature techniques,
in-flight particle diagnostics, and warm
spray technology.” His research has been
widely published and earned interna-
tional awards. He is unit director of the
National Institute of Materials Science,
Japan, where he has worked since 2001.
Kuroda has held academic positions in the UK, France, Tokyo,
and Poland and acts as a technical bridge between Japan/Asia
and the ASMThermal Spray Community. He served as program-
ming chair of ITSC 2004 and is in his seventh year as associate
editor of the Journal of Thermal Spray Technology.
Thomas A. Taylor, FASM, is being
recognized “for significant contributions
to new and novel thermal barrier coating
architectures, and rub tolerant andMCrAlY
coatings for gas and turbine engine ap-
plications.” Taylor is retired from Prax-
air Surface Technology of Indianapolis.
He previously worked for Union Carbide
Coatings Services, later acquired by Prax-
air. He holds more than 20 patents in the field of thermal spray
and is credited for development of ZirCoat, vertically segment-
ed thermal barrier coatings. He authored more than 50 papers
related to ceramic, cermet, and high temperature coatings and
sponsored doctoral projects on coatings for Purdue University
students. Taylor is a past chair of the ASM Indianapolis Chapter.
Armelle Vardelle, FASM, is cited “for globally recognized
contributions to understanding the role of plasma generation
and plasma-particle interaction on coatings microstructure.”

Ding
She is distinguished professor and co-
chair of the Department of Materials, Sur-
face Treatments, and Environment at the
Engineering School of Limoges, University
of Limoges, France. Her research focuses
on plasma spray and thermal spray plas-
ma processes. She has supervised over
30 Ph.D. theses and has been published
in 110 peer reviewed journals and 145
proceedings. Vardelle is a Fellow of the International Plasma
Chemistry Society, has served on the TSSBoard, and is currently
Editor in Chief of the Journal of Thermal Spray Technology.
KARTHIKEYAN RECEIVES TSS
PRESIDENT’S AWARD
Jeganathan Karthikeyan, FASM,
Director of Research & Development, ASB
Industries, is the 2016 recipient of the TSS
President’s Award for Meritorious Ser-
vice. He will be recognized at a future TSS
event.

EDUCATION COURSES
Visit to find out more about
these valuable courses.
Advanced Diagnostics of Thermal Spray
Date: July 14
Location: ASMWorld Headquarters,
Materials Park, Ohio
Instructor: Christian Moreau, FASM,
Thermal Spray Society president
This course provides a historical per-
spective of diagnostic techniques devel-
opment as well as a detailed description
of the basic principles of sensor operation. An extensive series
of examples of the use of sensors in research and production
environments is also included.
Thermal Spray Technology
Date: July 26-27
Location: ASMWorld Headquarters,
Materials Park, Ohio
Instructor: Chris Berndt, FASM
Coating reliability and effectiveness
requires overlay coatings to be selected,
engineered, and applied correctly. This
course provides a thorough grounding
andunderstanding of thermal spray processes, depicts complex
scientific concepts in terms of simple physical models, and in-
tegrates this knowledge into practical engineering applications
and commonly accepted thermal spray practices.
