SEMIevent.org SAVE THE DATE! DECEMBER 1–3, 2025 | MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA The Symposium on Emerging Materials and Innovations in Thermal Spray (SEMI) is a new symposium offered by the ASM Thermal Spray Society (TSS), in coordination with Swinburne University of Technology. This event will explore the latest advancements in thermal spray and cold spray technologies, with a focus on surface engineering, repair applications, and innovative materials for the mining and industrial sectors. SEMI 2025 will bring together scientists, engineers, and industry leaders from across the Asia-Pacific region and beyond to address both research challenges and real-world industrial applications. KEY QUESTIONS TO BE ADDRESSED: • What are the key opportunities for thermal and cold spray technologies in mining, repair, and industrial applications across the Asia-Pacific region? • What technical and operational challenges must be overcome for broader adoption? • How can these technologies revolutionize repair processes and cut costs for heavy industries? • What are the needs of end users in meeting modern industrial challenges? • What research and development priorities will accelerate adoption of these innovations? SEMI 2025 CONFERENCE CHAIR: PROFESSOR CHRISTOPHER BERNDT FASM, Thermal Spray Hall of Fame, Distinguished Professor Surface Science and Engineering, Swinburne University of Technology DISCUSSIONS ON CUTTING-EDGE TOPICS, INCLUDING: • Advanced coating materials for industrial applications • Cold spray technologies and their expanding role in repairs • Innovative solutions to extend component lifespan and reduce downtime
