Two thermal spray educational opportunities will be offered immediately prior to the International Thermal Spray Conference and Exposition (ITSC 2006) in Seattle this May.
Two thermal spray educational opportunities will be offered immediately prior to the International Thermal Spray Conference and Exposition (ITSC 2006) in Seattle this May.
Presented for the first time in the USA since ITSC 2003 in Orlando, these courses will be offered only once this year.
These courses will provide an in-depth overview of thermal spraying as a technology and are a must for anyone who is currently involved in the field or who is considering thermal spray as an alternative surface treatment technology.
Registration for both courses is available at special member and nonmember rates, as well as student pricing.
Early registration is encouraged as seating is limited.
"Thermal spray technology" will be held from 11th to 13th May 2006 at the Westin Seattle.
Instructors are Dr Christopher C Berndt, FASM, Professor at James Cook University, and TSS President Dr Richard Knight, FASM, Auxiliary Professor, Drexel University.
This course provides a thorough grounding and understanding of thermal spray processes, depicts the quite complex scientific concepts in terms of simple physical models, and integrates this knowledge to practical engineering applications and commonly accepted thermal spray practices.
"Understanding and improving your thermal spray processes" will be held on 12th and 13th May 2006 at the Westin Seattle.
Instructors are Dr Maher Boulos, Professor, University of Sherbrooke; Dr Pierre Fauchais, Professor, Universite de Limoges; and Dr Joachim Heberlein, University of Minnesota.
Education is vital to understanding the coating systems and improving thermal spray coating reliability.
This course reviews the processing science for a wide range of thermal spray coating processes.
The theory of operation and practice of the coatings will be presented, including thermal spray control, coating application, characterisation and testing.
Practical coating systems for electric arc, flame and plasma will be reviewed using case studies.
A third course: "Tribological contacts: fundamental issues and practical solutions", is being offered on 14th May 2006 as a special precursor to the International Surface Engineering Congress event sponsored by ASM.
The course will provide a detailed overview of the art and science of tribology as applied to mechanical assemblies.
To provide three world-class learning and networking events with one registration fee, ITSC 2006 will be colocated in Seattle with the ASM AeroMat Conference and Exposition and the International Surface Engineering Congress.
