iTSSe TSS ADVANCED MATERIALS & PROCESSES | JULY/AUGUST 2024 55 iTSSe TSS 11 applications. Hybridizing with other processes such as thick film consolidation, plasma spray, and screen printing may be necessary to achieve the required device functionality. Note: Many of the devices presented in Fig. 4 stemmed from the work of research support specialist Shaun Kubik. Unfortunately, Kubik succumbed to cancer at age 54, survived by his wife Carrie and sons Cameron and Declan. Kubik was not only innovative with ideas, but worked tirelessly to implement them. He was always cheerful with an infectious laugh that brought joy to his colleagues. The CTSR team recognizes his contributions and hopes they will provide inspiring ideas to future thermal and cold sprayers. ~iTSSe For more information: Prof. Sanjay Sampath, director, Center for Thermal Spay Research, Stony Brook University, N.Y., 11794, 631.632.8480, sanjay.sampath@stonybrook.edu, www.stonybrook.edu/ctsr.

Pierre Fauchais, Armelle Vardelle, and Bernard Dussoubs Published in Vol 10(1), March 2001, this paper is devoted to thermal spraying and presents the state of current knowledge at the time of publication, as well as the following research or development needs: spraying heat sources; particle heat and momentum transfer (measurements and modeling), process on-line control, powder morphologies, and injection within the hot jet and reactions with environment; coating formation; and reliability and reproducibility of coatings. (Fig. 1) The Journal of Thermal Spray Technology (JTST), the official journal of the ASM Thermal Spray Society, publishes contributions on all aspects—fundamental and practical—of thermal spray science, including processes, feedstock manufacture, testing, and characterization. As the primary vehicle for thermal spray information transfer, its mission is to synergize the rapidly advancing thermal spray industry and related industries by presenting research and development efforts leading to advancements in implementable engineering applications of the technology. The thermal spray community mourns the passing in May of this year of Professor Pierre Fauchais, FASM, TSS-HoF, a pillar of the Thermal Spray Society. Prof. Fauchais contributed 42 papers to JTST as an author and co-author. Please enjoy reading the five papers highlighted here in memory of him. These papers are available free access from July 15 to August 31. In addition to the print publication, JTST is available online through springerlink.com.
