If you would like to participate in the ITSC 2015 Conference and have the opportunity to present your work at the largest gathering of the global thermal spray community, we encourage you to submit your 150-200 word technical abstract(s) for review and consideration. The conference organizers are seeking original, previously unpublished non-commercial papers for oral and poster presentations in several surface engineering topical areas including (but not limited to): Fundamentals/R&D Diagnostics of spray processes (splats, flow visualization, etc.) Coating buildup Structure/properties relationship Simulation and Modeling Advanced materials Emerging processes (SPS, SPPS, hybrid processes, etc.) Improved “classical” processes (plasma, cold spray, etc.) Testing and characterization methods Reliability, consistency and process control Thermal Spray Applications Military applications Automotive and heavy duty truck Atmospheric and marine corrosion Chemical/petrochemical corrosion Paper and printing Metal processing Biomedical Renewable energy Power generation Performance testing and characterization Complimentary surface engineering applications Semi-conductor and electronics Advanced Coatings for the Aerospace Industry (Joint symposium with AEROMAT) Thermal and environmental barrier coatings Wear & corrosion resistant coatings Abradable coatings Applications of emerging processes (cold spray, solution and suspension thermal spray, etc.) Complementary surface engineering solutions (PVD, CVD, plating, anodization, electrolytic oxidation, etc.) Coating characterization and performance evaluation Addititive manufacturing (thermal spray, cold spray, laser cladding, etc.)
