International Conference on
Metallurgical Coatings and Thin Films (ICMCTF 2011)
AVS International Conference on
Metallurgical Coatings and Thin Films will be held in San Diego,
CA;
May 2-6 2011,
http://www2.avs.org/conferences/icmctf/default.asp
The ICMCTF is internationally
recognized as a vibrant technical conference that integrates
fundamental and applied research focused on thin film
deposition, characterization, and advanced surface
modification techniques. ICMCTF is the premier international
meeting in the field promoting global exchange of information
among scientists, technologists, and manufacturers.
The conference draws more than
700 attendees each year with multiple oral technical
sessions and a well attended poster session which is a
major component of the technical program.
The conference is organized in
different technical symposia to address experimental,
theoretical, and manufacturing issues associated with
development of new coating materials and processes,
dynamics of film growth, development of functional
coatings, and evolving approaches to scale-up for
commercial applications.

Addresses
coatings and other surface modifications whose primary purpose
is to sustain system performance under high-temperature and
harsh thermo-chemical environments. These include
high-temperature ageing and stress, corrosion (e.g., oxidation,
sulfidation, carburization, water-accelerated degradation),
catalytic and physical fouling (e.g., coking, ash fouling,
slagging), and wear (e.g., abrasion, erosion, impact). Topics
of interest cover the characterization and mechanistic
understanding of a wide range of high-temperature degradation
phenomena, as well as the materials science and surface process
technologies to ameliorate them. Typical applications span
gas/steam turbines, coal, geothermal, and biomass energy
conversion, chemical/petrochemical processes, and
high-temperature batteries and fuel cells.

Thermal
Barrier Coatings III – Irsee, Germany
August 7-12,
2011
Irsee, Germany

About This Conference
Thermal barrier coatings are
complex, multi-layered, and multi-material systems with many
variants related to composition, processing and microstructure.
Further understanding of the science and behavior of these
materials that will result in the successful advancement of the
technology requires a truly multidisciplinary approach.
This conference will be third in
series of conferences sponsored by ECI at Irsee, Germany (2003
and 2007) on Thermal Barrier Coatings (TBCs). Thermal Barrier
Coating (TBC) Systems continue to be a key materials technology
that offers great benefit to the operation of gas turbine
aircraft engines, gas turbine shipboard engines, land base
industrial gas turbine engines, and recently diesel
reciprocating engines. The technology associated with TBC has
progressed steadily since the introduction of these coatings
over forty years ago. It is noteworthy that research in thermal
barrier coatings has accelerated greatly in the past ten years
and that this research has resulted in the commercial and
military use of new bond coats, low conductivity coatings and
coatings that resist degradation induced by environmental
deposits ingested into the engine. Current research includes
development of prime-reliant TBCs, TBCs for ceramic matrix
composites, and recently TBCs that will resist reaction with
volcanic ash. Thermal barrier coating systems are now key
elements in the design of new and advanced engines and are
enabling many new designs with improved efficiencies and higher
thrusts. Extensive research and development of TBCs is being
carried out in every major industrialized country by industry,
academia, and national institutions and laboratories.
Since the last conference, research
activity has continued to increase and the successful
implementation of new and advanced coating systems has been
achieved. Several technologies that were in the developmental
phase and reported on at the prior two ECI TBC Conferences are
now being deployed and will be discussed. Also since the last
conference, research activities in TBCs have greatly increased
in Japan and China.
Outline
The conference will address the multi-disciplinary nature of
thermal barrier coatings and will attempt to bring together
those who have expertise in specific aspects of the materials
involved, processing, mechanics of degradation, interfacial and
bulk diffusion, newer materials as alternatives to yttria
stabilized zirconia, fundamentals of high-temperature oxidation,
and other degradation mechanisms such as CMAS attack, thermal
conductivity, and the basics of thermal transport, high
temperature creep and sintering phenomena and engineering
design.
Poster
Award
Poster prizes will be awarded to the best three posters
submitted by students.
Publication of Abstracts
Abstracts will be published in the conference program book,
available to all participants at the time of the conference.

International Thermal Spray
Conference (ITSC-2011)
ASM Intl TSS International Thermal Spray
Conference,
September
27 - 29, 2011 Congress Center Hamburg, Germany
http://www.dvs-ev.de/itsc2011/
The DVS Congress and DVS Expo in
2011 will be a major interdisciplinary event that offers
information conveyance in theory and practice as well as
entertainment in new dimensions: in an interdisciplinary
environment before the maritime backdrop of the Hanseatic City
of Hamburg.
"Different days, different markets"
– for this kind of intensive exchange of expert knowledge, an
invitation is being issued to all experts, to come to Hamburg
for the ITSC 2011, by the following organizations: DVS – German
Welding Society, the ASM Thermal Spray Society (TSS) and the
International Institute of Welding (IIW).
With it’s interlinking of the
related, renowned conferences and exhibitions from the field of
joining and cutting technology, the ITSC subscribes to a state
of the art concept, in order to identify and address novel
applications and new users for thermal spray coatings. Here, the
DVS Congress 2011, in conjunction with the ITSC 2011, is at
internationally renowned level in the areas of user orientation,
conveying industry knowledge and the exchange of experiences and
up-to-date specialized trade information.
The essential focus of the event,
here, is not only on a practically oriented coupling of
research, technology and qualification / training, but in
particular on generating interest among the various enterprises
for an integrated kind of technical-scientific information
exchange.
To reinforce the position of Thermal
Spray in its existing and future markets, the ITSC 2011 offers
very practically oriented "application highlights", among others
also in the area of "maritime technologies" as an example of
growing and future applications of Thermal Spray.
