ASM's training programs are designed to increase practical and technical knowledge while meeting individual needs and schedules. Easy to use and understand, courses are offered as a complete package in an effective, flexible format that lets you study on your own time at your own pace.

Thermal Spray Technology (3 day course)

This course is directed toward technologists, engineers, and technicians, and provides an understanding of thermal spray processing science as well as applications and practice. Graduate students and other professionals entering the thermal spray field or wanted to update their knowledge will also benefit greatly. Students will learn and understand how thermal spray processes allow favorable interactions which permit the design envelope of conventional components to be extended. Students also gain insights into future challenges and markets for this exponentially growing manufacturing sector.

  • Thermal spray technology provides a cost-effective solution for many applications requiring resistance to wear, heat and corrosion
  • Processes including electric arc combustion and plasma spray coatings can apply almost any material to the surface of another
  • Coating systems must be engineered and applied correctly to operate as an overlay surface
  • This course provides an understanding of thermal spray processing science as well as applications and practice

The 3-day seminar is offered periodically. This course is also available on a homestudy basis. Order your copy of the the Thermal Spray Homestudy course today!

Practical Learning Series

We currently have three learning series:

Materials: Practical Learning Series for Thermal Spray - Participants will understand what thermal spray coatings are, what coating materials are used in thermal spray, some important applications of thermal spray coatings, how surfaces wear, and how coatings are used to repair and protect surfaces.

Testing: Practical Learning Series for Thermal Spray - Participants will understand the various characteristics of thermal spray coatings that are tested, the challenges that arise in the proper preparation of testing samples, many of the methods used for testing the quality of coatings, and some of the ways in which raw materials are tested for quality and consistency.

FREE! Safety, Handling and Documentation: Practical Learning Series for Thermal Spray – free to TSS community website visitors. This course is designed to introduce you to common safety practices, handling methods, and documentation procedures used in thermal spray processes.

For additional details on the Practical Learning Series, please contact Customer Service at 440/338-5151 ext. 0.


Understanding the Basics: Thermal Spraying: Linspray (video)

What is thermal spraying? It’s a group of processes that create coatings by depositing a powder, wire or rod material. Thermal spray technologies produce a wide variety of coatings for every industry, including automotive, aerospace, power generation and pulp and paper. This video introduces you to the most common thermal spray processes and shows their application in a number of industries. Click here to view a clip from this video. This video is part of the Understanding the Basics series, developed for thermal spray shops and powder and equipment manufacturers. It will benefit new staff, experienced personnel and customers alike. Format: Video (24 minutes) More>>
