Emerging Opportunities in
Thermal Spray Technology

                 

An NSF Sponsored Symposium

August 13-14, 1998
(Optional Laboratory Class on Aug. 12)
State University of N. Y. at Stony Brook
Stony Brook, Long Island, New York

Sponsored by the
Center for Thermal Spray Research
A National Science Foundation
Materials Research Science and Engineering Center
/tsl/ctsr/

The object of this Workshop is to examine emerging opportunities in thermal spray technology. In this regard, the speakers, representing a wide range of industries, will review selected areas of applications that are rapidly growing. Consistent with the Center's central theme of linking research to practice, discussions will be presented on the supportive, fundamental studies that are aiding in an expansion of thermal spray applications. The Workshop is dedicated to the conviction that these diverse applications of thermal spray will continue to grow and, indeed, will gain increased recognition by the general engineering community. This is the third in a series of Workshops offered by the Center and sponsored in part by the National Science Foundation. The 1991 Workshop focused on the fundamentals and uses of the plasma spray process. The 1995 Workshop was dedicated to thermal spray in the manufacturing environment, and as such concentrated on processes. The 1998 Workshop will examine new and emerging applications as practiced in the automotive, marine, electronics, energy-related industries, etc. These Stony Brook Workshops differ from traditional conferences in that the focus will address the development and implementation of the technology. The objectives of the Workshop are:

The Center for Thermal Spray Research

The Center for Thermal Spray Research is supported by a multi-year grant as part of the NSF's "Materials Research Science and Engineering Centers" program. The Center focuses on the fundamentals of thermal spray processing and carries out experimental and theoretical research on the synthesis, modeling and properties of wide classes of materials. While the Center is primarily an academic activity, the nature of the technology requires that the research have a strong industrial orientation. The Center has considerable experience in working with industry. It has consistently been our goal to develop mutually beneficial relations with industry: The Center, interacting with industry, allows us to aid in the applied sector through consultation and programmed studies. These programs have been successful in introducing numerous industrial concerns to the assets of thermal spray and have aided in the transformation of the technology from a "band-aid" approach to a prime reliant constituent in engineering design.
