Symposium K, Materials Synthesis by Thermal Spraying, Held at the 1999 MRS Fall Meeting, Boston, MA during November 29-December 3, 1999
Abstract
Symposium K will focus on materials synthesis by thermal spraying. The need for engineered coatings with controlled composition and microstructure is increasing because of increasing demands on the materials properties in a variety of applications such as aerospace, environment, catalysis, and electrodes. A possible gain in productivity by using thermal spraying as a process for materials synthesis is a strong driving force that is coming from the industry. This symposium is intended to provide current knowledge in the field of thermal spraying synthesis of materials including ultrafine powder synthesis, with highlights on processing, modeling and diagnostics and nanostructure materials applications and characterization. As part of the symposium, an honorary session will be devoted to Professor Herbert Herman from SUNY-Stony Brook for his overall contribution in the field of thermal spraying. This symposium seeks to bring together researchers from academia and industry to discuss fundamental mechanisms and phenomena, as well as processing in the materials synthesis and thermal spraying field.
