Thermal Spray Fundamentals- From Powder To Part May 2026

Coating engineers, failure analysts, additive manufacturing researchers, and undergraduate/masters-level courses in surface engineering.

Overview

Thermal Spray Fundamentals: From Powder to Part serves as a definitive guide to one of the most versatile surface engineering technologies in modern manufacturing. Bridging the gap between academic theory and industrial application, this text systematically walks the reader through the entire thermal spray value chain. True to its subtitle, it begins with the raw material (powder, wire, or suspension) and ends with the finished, coated component, emphasizing the process-microstructure-property relationships that dictate success or failure in real-world environments. Thermal Spray Fundamentals- From Powder to Part

Thermal Spray Fundamentals: From Powder to Part is an essential cornerstone for anyone serious about mastering thermal spray technology. It succeeds brilliantly in its mission to treat the thermal spray coating not as an isolated layer, but as the integrated outcome of a chain of decisions—starting with the powder supplier and ending with the part in service. For the practitioner, it is a problem-solving manual; for the student, a rigorous but accessible textbook; for the researcher, a reliable foundation upon which to build new discoveries. True to its subtitle, it begins with the
