THERMAL SPRAY (TS) PROCESSES

FOR

AEROSPACE APPLICATIONS

 

 

15 July 2005, Orchard Parade Hotel

 

 

 

Course Objective

 

The objective of this one day course is to introduce the recipe of the emerging thermal spray (TS) processing technology and processes for manufacturing aerospace hardware.  The principal attribute of this novel technique lies in its capability of producing tailor-made properties of coatings by optimising the nature of the substrate, the material to be deposited and the process design parameters for aerospace applications.  An interactive session based on real-life case studies will illustrate the potential of TS processes and focus on the problems and future challenges of the TS technology.

 

Course Leader

 

Prof Christopher C Berndt is the professor and deputy chairman at the Department of Materials Science and Engineering, State University of New York at Stony Brook (SUNY), New York, USA.  Prof. Berndt has over twenty-five years’ experience in the area of thermal spray coatings (TSCs) produced by plasma spraying.  He has authored more than 250 publications in international journals focusing on processing, characterization and applications of TSCs.  His research work has solved many industrial problems related to corrosion, wear and friction, thermal flux control, electrical construction and insulation, and rebuilding of worn-out components.   Prof Chris Berndt is the founding Editor, Journal of Thermal Spray Technology, ASM International and he is currently the Vice President, Thermal Spray Society (TSS). He is also a fellow of the American Society of Materials (ASM) International.
