Included as part of the regular member benefits package

The Journal of Thermal Spray Technology (JTST) publishes contributions on all fundamental and practical aspects of thermal spray science, including processes, feedstock manufacture, testing, and characterization. A leading forum on thermal spray technology, JTST’s mission is to synergize the rapidly advancing thermal spray industry and related industries.

  • The journal presents research and development efforts leading to advances in implementable engineering applications of this fast-growing coating technology.
  • JTST features critically reviewed scientific and engineering papers, combining the best new research with the latest applications and problem solving.
  • Content includes technical note case studies from real-time applications and in-depth topical reviews, from the scientific to the practical.
  • JTST is a publication of the Thermal Spray Society, an affiliate society of ASM International.

The Thermal Spray Technology: Accepted Practices eBook is a compendium of documents created by the ASM Thermal Spray Society to describe and explain accepted practices for testing and analysis of thermal spray coatings, with particular emphasis on sample preparation for metallographic examination. The Accepted Practice documentation is intended to provide practical guidance and to augment the information contained in ASTM and other balloted standards. The book also includes an overview of thermal spray processes and applications.

 

TSS Member receive online access to ASM Handbook, Volume 5A: Thermal Spray Technology. This addition to the ASM Handbook series is co-published by the Thermal Spray Society and ASM International. Volume 5A is a replacement for the Handbook of Thermal Spray Technology, edited by J.R. Davis (ASM, 2004). The volume provides an introduction to modern thermal spray processes including plasma spray, high velocity oxy-fuel, and detonation gun deposition; and a description of coating properties, their wear, corrosion, and thermal barrier characteristics. Principles, types of coatings, applications, performance, and testing/analysis also are covered. The Handbook serves as an excellent introduction and guidebook for those new to thermal spray.

TSS Members get full online access to the complete catalog of proceedings from the International Thermal Spray Conference (ITSC)—the leading global event for professionals advancing thermal spray technology.
