Thermal and Cold Spray Coatings and Case Studies

Tuesday, March 17, 2026
9:30 AM - 12:30 PM Central
Location: 372 BC

This session will cover discussions on thermal and cold spray coatings for mitigation of corrosion and wear with a specific focus on (but not limited to) surface preparation, coating consumable selection, spray method selection, spray parameter development, in-line quality and inspection, testing and qualification, operational experience, cost reduction, maintenance and repair. The subjects to be covered include latest research and field experience on thermal spray coatings, materials, processes and strategies for corrosion control, etc. The group will also discuss conventional and novel thermal and cold spray coating systems used to prevent corrosion and wear in offshore, onshore, oil and gas, subsea, marine, construction, chemical industry, refinery, construction, automotive, power, aerospace, etc. The open-forum format would allow fruitful exchange of ideas which would otherwise not be possible in a traditional symposium.
