cooler temperatures. The plasma ceramic coatings work byreducing heat transfer, which means an increase in powerand reduced heat input to other components. A typical dropof 77°F (25ºC) in under bonnet temperature will result indecreased intake temperature, which can give up to a 5%increase in power and significantly increases ancillaryreliability.The Woof plasma ceramic coatings can reduce surface

temperatures by up to 320°F (160ºC) and can withstandtemperatures of up to 2550°F (1400ºC). This compares withtypical standard ceramic containing paint, which may onlyreduce surface temperatures by up to 9%.The Woof premium performance plasma ceramic coating

contains magnesia/ irconia and offers the best thermal bar-rier coating. The coating is creamy white in color, with aslightly rough surface texture.There is an alternative darker plasma ceramic coating,

which contains alumina/titania and has a grey coloredappearance. This offers similar reductions in surfacetemperature, although the radiation of heat is slightlygreater than with magnesia/zirconia. In all cases, exceptmaybe some extreme situations, this coating gives theperformance advantage but is less prone to aestheticdegradation due to its darker colour. This means thecoating stays fresh and smart looking, which may beimportant for concourse cars.

The well-known white exhaust coatings became very

popular in the 1990s and are applied on many new breedturbo charged fourwheel drive worldrally cars. The proofof their success isdemonstrated by theteams who opted forthese coatings, whichinclude key players in

the industry such as Subaru and Mitsubishi.These days the use of ceramic coatings has become

widespread including touring cars, super car manufacturersand various rallying disciplines, which has led through toprivate owners using the coatings on track day cars andfast road cars. Woof Thermal Management Technologycurrently supplies Mellors Elliot Motorsport and the worksProton S2000 Team.John Holdsworth, Managing Director at Woof Thermal

Management Technology, says: “It’s a really exciting timefor Woof and we are thrilled to be expanding our serviceswithin the motorsport industry. To support our commitmentto the industry we have decided to sponsor the Lancashire& Districts Subaru owners’ club ‘Best in Show’ trophy at theprestigious Preston Flag Market car show in April.

Thermal Spraying is Huge Success withElectro Metal Depositors

Metallisation customer, Electro Metal Depositors, isa huge fan of thermal spraying and says its clients arethrilled with the results.

Electro Metal Depositors;; based in Oldham,Lancashire; provides anticorrosion and surfaceprotection for all manner of equipment and structuresincluding turnstiles, playground equipment, securitybarriers, entrance gates, roadblocks and decorativebalustrades. The company prides itself on providingsurface coatings that offer corrosion protection,durability and longevity.Metallisation supplies Electro Metal Depositors with

arc spray equipment, wires and supporting sundriesfor use in all of its thermal spraying projects. TheMetallisation Arc140 system offers a lightweight,medium capacity solution for both anticorrosion andengineering coating applications. At the heart of thesystem is the patented ‘Synchrodrive’, which reliablyand positively drives the wire at the dispenser andthe gun, allowing the gun to be up to 65 ft (20 m)from the wire. The flexible drive system means thatthere is no motor in the pistol, resulting in a light-weight, maneuverable gun, increasing the flexibilityof the system and reducing operator fatigue.Although Electro Metal Depositors provides thermal

the UK, the company has recently completed two exciting major projects with itsclient, Broughton Controls Ltd. The first was to protect the entrance turnstilesof an Irish rugby stadium. With a capacity of 50,000 the turnstiles at the rugby

ground will be well used,which means they needto be hardwearing andprotected from corrosion.To achieve this the

turnstiles were thermalsprayed with zinc andfinished with a powdercoating. The thermalspraying provides an

excellent key for the powder coat to adhere to, assisting in the long-termdurability of the outer coating. Should the powder coat be damaged, by jeansrivets or belt buckles for example, the zinc spray comes into its own and protectsthe base steelwork from rusting. Rusting of turnstiles and handrails can causesharp areas, obviously undesirable given the amount of people passing as well,as the aesthetic issues. The combination of thermal sprayed zinc and powdercoat has provided a hardwearing, anticorrosion coating guaranteed for at leastten years.The second project was to protect the entrance turnstiles at a defense site in

the UK. Again strong, robust, hardwearing surface protection was required, whichhas been delivered by thermal spraying the turnstiles with zinc. This time ElectroMetal Depositors has provided a 20-year guarantee to its client.In the thermal spraying process surface preparation is very important to the

success of the final coating. All of the surfaces are therefore prepared by gritblasting with steel grit to SA 2.5, which ensures the surface area is ready toaccept the metal particles. Electro Metal Depositors aims for around 70 - 100microns of zinc spray and between 2.8 - 3.9 mils (70 – 100 microns) of powdercoat, which gives a total of 5.5 - 7.9 mils (140 – 200 microns) of protectivecoating on all projects.One of the major advantages of thermal spraying, as opposed to a process such

as galvanizing, is that there is no heat distortion of the structures being coated.This is vitally important in the protection of decorative balustrades the companymanages on a regular basis. These balustrades can be intricate and delicatemoldings in metal that will be easily distorted by the heat generated in thegalvanizing process.A second key advantage of thermal spraying over galvanizing is the ability to

protect large structures. Galvanizing is limited to the size of the galvanizingtanks and therefore cannot accommodate large structures. Whereas thermalspraying has no limitation on the size of the structure it can protect. This wasa key factor in the company’s decision to thermal spray large roadblocks, whichare huge steel structures used in war zones. The roadblocks needed to beprotected from corrosion, but also robust enough to withstand an explosion.Richard McPartland, Chief Executive, Electro Metal Depositors, says: “Thermal

spraying is fantastic. Its strength, durability and long-term protection is idealfor the work we are asked to do by our clients. The security companies lovethermal sprayed surfaces because it is just so strong. It not only providescorrosion protection but it creates a hard-wearing, strong surface that lasts foryears. We recently used it to protect the security barriers at the site of one ofthe large banking groups and it has been a huge success. Metallisation is a greatcompany to work with. They are always on hand to offer support and to discussnew developments with us. I am a big fan of thermal spraying.”

Larson adds LED Explosion Proof Lights forPaint Spray and Thermal Spray Booths

Combining bright light output, color temperature controland 5-year bulb life, Larson Electronic “magnalight.com”augmented their line of explosion proof lights with UL 844Class 1 Division 1 LED lights paint spray booth lights.Available in 4-ft and 2-ft lengths, the explosion prooflights can be configured with 2 or 4 LED tube lights foroptimal area coverage within paint spray orthermal spray coating booths.

Larson Electronic “magnalight.com”announced the addition of several new LEDexplosion proof spray booth lights for hazardous locationarea use. With a UL Class 1 Division 1 and Class 2 Division1 rating, these spray booth certified lights offer more lightoutput than high output fluorescent alternatives, but withlower electricity usage and 5.5 year bulb life. Operators canbe OSHA compliant in their spray booths, while reducingthe cost of electricity consumption and the cost associatedwith re-lamping these explosion proof lights. The EPL-48-2L-LED and EPL-48-4L-LED are the 4-ft versions of the LEDexplosion proof LED lights and the EPL-24-2L-LED is the 2-ft configuration. These LED explosion proof spray boothlights are made in the USA and feature both surface andpendant mounting options. Wheeled cart options, includingthe EPLC-48-4L-LED and the EPLCD-48-2L-LED offeroperators the ability to move the paint spray booth lights

in and around the hazardous location area to suit theparticular coating application.“These LED explosion proof lights complement our existingline of explosion proof fluorescent lights for spray andcoating booths while offering lower cost of operation andless maintenance,” said Rob Bresnahan with LarsonElectronic “magnalight.com”. “These hazardous locationlights are UL certified for both flammable vapors and dusts,

making them suitable for all types of manufacturingand processing. Some of the unique applications wehave discovered include manufacturing applicationswhere UV is not permissible. Our LED lights do not

produce any UV light at all, so instead of looking for waysto block the UV generated by fluorescent lights, operatorshave found they can get exactly the bandwidth of light theyrequire, and eliminate bandwidths below 420 nm. We canadjust color temperature and bandwidth to suit specificapplications with these explosion proof lights.”Larson Electronics offers a wide array of explosion proof

lighting for hazardous location areas, including handheld,portable and surface mount lighting with UL Class 1 andClass 2 ratings. You can learn more about Larson Electronicsand the full range of hazardous location lights at mag-nalight.com or contact 1-800-369-6671 (214-616-6180international).

energy, biomedical, automotive, oil and gas, generalindustry and aerospace) allows the companies to supply thecoatings and also all related services.The group unites the advantages of a small and medium

enterprise (flexibility, responsiveness, low-cost structure)with all the advantages of a large corporation (financial

strength and synergy), while avoiding the disadvantages ofboth.

Unitedcoatings Group serves thecustomers from the coating serviceto the complete plant solutionpackage including the final financialcontrol. In particular the services

provided are: construction of complete coated components,development of coating solutions, coating know-how,standard and customized thermal spray equipment, fullyautomated thermal spray equipment for mass production,laboratory and quality procedure, coating post treatment,plant layout design according to lean manufacturingprinciples and plant management with a leanmanufacturing approach.The Unitedcoatings Group was officially presented to the

thermal spray world at the ITSC 2010 in Singapore.The group is under the control of Mr. Selso Antolotti’s

family. In Singapore, Linda Antolotti, Nelso’s daughter, wasintroduced. Linda is presently completing her educationalstudy and is being involved in the activities of the group.The strength of Unitedcoatings Group is based on a long

experience in coating service, which allows the guaranteeof the quality, but also the productivity and the finalproduct costs. It is the new age of thermal spray, the newapproach to the coating service born on a strong basis.

Abstract: Sensors in Spray ProcessesP. Fauchais and M. Vardelle

This paper presents what is our actual knowledge aboutsensors, used in the harsh environment of spray booths,to improve the reproducibility and reliability of coatingssprayed with hot or cold gases. First are described, withtheir limitations and precisions, the different sensorsfollowing the in-flight hot particle parameters (trajecto-ries, temperatures, velocities, sizes and shapes). A fewcomments are also made about techniques, still underdevelopments in laboratories, to improve ourunderstanding of coating formation such as plasma jettemperature measurements in non-symmetricalconditions, hot gases heat flux, particles flattening andsplats formation, particles evaporation. Then aredescribed the illumination techniques by laser flash ofeither cold particles (those injected in hot gases, or incold spray gun) or liquid injected into hot gases(suspensions or solutions). The possibilities they open todetermine the flux and velocities of cold particles orvisualize liquid penetration in the core of hot gases arediscussed. Afterwards are presented sensors to follow,when spraying hot particles, substrate and coatingtemperature evolution, and the stress developmentwithin coatings during the spray process as well as thecoating thickness. The different uses of these sensors arethen described with successively: (i) Measurementslimited to particle trajectories, velocities, temperatures,and sizes in different spray conditions: plasma (includingtransient conditions due to arc root fluctuation in d.c.plasma jets), HVOF, wire arc, cold spray. Afterwards arediscussed how such sensor data can be used to achievea better understanding fo the different spray processes,compare experients to calculations and improve thereproducibility and reliability of the spray conditions. (ii)Coatings monitoring through in-flight measurementscoupled with those devoted to coatings formation. Thisis achieved by either maintaining at their set point bothin-flight and certain spray parameters (spray pattern,coating temperatures...), or defining a good workingarea through factorial design, or using artificial intelli-gence based on artificial neural network (ANN) to predictparticle in-flight characteristics and coating structuralattributes from the knowledge of processing parameters.

Dr. Basil Marple is Retiring From the NationalResearch Council of Canada

After 35 years of excellentwork, Dr. Basil Marple isretiring from NationalResearch Council of Canada(NRC). Basil began to workat the NRC in 1975 as atechnician. Due to hiscontinuing high profession-alism and dedication to thisinstitution, he was allowedby the NRC to pursue under-graduate studies (Chemical

Engineering) at Dalhousie University (Canada) and PhDstudies (Ceramic Engineering) at the University ofPennsylvania (USA).

From a technician he was promoted to researcher,reaching the rank of Senior Research Officer (SRO) of theNRC in 1999. The SRO position is one of the mostprestigious research positions at the NRC. It is important topoint out that Basil changed the aim of his career in themid 1990s, from a ceramist to thermal sprayer. Within lessthan one decade he was able to establish himself as arecognized scientist in the thermal spray community.His service to our thermal spray community is impeccable.He has been the main editor of four proceedings of theInternational Thermal Spray Conferences (ITSCs 2003,2006, 2007 and 2009) and five special issues of the Journalof Thermal Spray Technology and appointed Lead Editoron the same journal in 2009. He has been electedtwice as an ASM-TSS Board member by his peers. Hehas helped to organize several thermal sprayconferences and symposia for ASM International in thelast decade.Basil has authored/coauthored more than 50 peer

reviewed and 40 conference papers; the majority ofthem in the area of thermal spraying. He is also arecipient of two US Patents on ceramic engineering. In2008, Dr. Marple coauthored a book chapter onBionanotechnology, edited by renowned editorialcompany, CRC Press; and he has given invitedpresentations in several conferences or symposia. Hehas received three best paper awards from the ITSCs2000, 2001 and 2003 in the areas of WC-Co processingand the incorporation of solid lubricants in themicrostructure of thermal spray coatings. In 2008 hereceived the Journal of Thermal Spray Technology bestpaper award of the 2007 edition of the Journal,regarding the use of laser ultrasonics to measure thethickness, density and elastic modulus of WC-Cocoatings.Due to his scientific excellence and professionalism,

he was invited by ASM-TSS to become the main editorof the Proceedings of the ITSCs 2003, 2006, 2007 and2009 and five special issues of the ASM-TSS Journal ofThermal Spray Technology (2006-2010). In fall 2009,he was appointed Lead Editor of the same Journal.

25

Among his major achievements in thermal spraying, hewas one of the pioneers on the engineering ofnanostructured YSZ TBCs to counteract sintering effects,which is currently attracting the attention of the aerospaceindustry. Basil has also identified the “process window” forengineering nanostructured (multimodal) HVOF-sprayedWC-Co coatings. He was able to show the effectiveness ofmultimodal powders in producing highly wear resistantcoatings with high deposition efficiency values over a widerange of particle temperature and velocity values. This workreceived a Certificate of Merit Award from ASM-TSS duringthe ITSC 2003.ASM International has just elected Basil a 2010 Fellow.

The honor of Fellow represents recognition of hisdistinguished contributions in the field of materials scienceand engineering. His citation reads: "For significantcontributions to the science and technology of thermalspray, and for providing leadership in disseminatingtechnical information.” This honor will be conferred uponBasil at the Convocation of Fellows to be held during theASM Awards Dinner on Tuesday, October 19, 2010, inHouston, Texas.

Fortunately Basil will not leave us for good. He willcontinue to work part-time at the NRC as an invitedresearcher. We all will have the great pleasure to interactwith him in our future thermal spray conferences andsymposia.

For more information, contact Basil via [email protected]

Larry Pollard Presented With 43 Year Plaque

At their April membership meeting, the InternationalThermal spray Association presented Larry Pollard with anappreciation plaque on behalf of his retirement. Theinscription reads: In acknowledgement and appreciation ofhis 43 years dedication to the advancement of thermal spraytechnology and his outstanding contribution to the successof our industry.Following is a note from Larry to the thermal spray

community.“Dear Friends of Thermal Spray,After nearly forty-three years in and around the Thermal

Spray industry, I have retired at the end of March 2010.My career start was with Sherritt Gordon Mines, Inc. in

their Phys Met Lab, which has since been spun off to SulzerMetco Canada.My next move was to Deloro Stellite in Belleville, Ontario.

Here is where I was introduced to the Plasmadyne SG 100as Deloro was their Canadian distributor.Deloro dropped the SG 100 and the torch went on to

Eutectic Castolin, NYC. I followed the torch.Another opportunity came up with Deloro in western

Canada of which I took.An opportunity came up a couple of years later for me to

set up a shop in Edmonton, AB. Canada Coatings LTD. wasset up utilizing the SG 100 as its main feature. Thecompany was destroyed by a rare tornado for AB and thebuilding was destroyed.

As I had sold so many SG 100 systems in Canada,Plasmadyne asked me to work for them direct as theirCanadian rep. I accepted.In December of 1986 things really started to change.

Miller Electric purchased Plasmadyne and moved the headoffice from CA to Appleton WI. The company was renamedto Miller Thermal Inc. (MTI). As almost the complete staffwas new to the thermal spray industry, in 1988 they askedme to relocate to Appleton. I accepted. Then a few yearslater MTI was spun off to Illinois Tool Works. From there itwas sold to Praxair Surface Technologies, Inc.(PST). After acouple of years PST purchased TAFA in New Hampshire anddecided to consolidate the two companies by closing theAppleton operation and moving it to New Hampshire. As

Scott Goodspeed (left) presenting Larry Pollard with plaque.

with all the other Appleton employees, I chose not to movewith the company.During the move decision-making process, an opportunity

came up with Progressive Technologies, Inc. (PTI) in GrandRapids, MI. to manage their Thermal Spray division. I tookthe opportunity and after 10 good years decided to retire.So here I am, but I am doing a little consulting in my

spare time.Look forward to hearing from you. Larry”For more information, contact Larry Pollard at email

Metallisation MD Faces 3 Lakes Challenge

Metallisation’s Managing Director, Dr Terry Lester, is tocomplete the 3 Lakes Challenge in July in aid of CancerResearch. The challenge is to dive the three highest alti-tude lakes on the British mainland in the fastest timepossible. The aim of the challenge is ideally to complete allthree dives within 24 hr.The three lakes involved are Loch Coire an Lochan in the

Cairngorms at an altitude of 3268 ft (996 metres), Red Tarnin the Lake District at 2356 ft (718 metres) and FfynnonLloer in North Wales at 2132 ft (650 metres). The clockstarts ticking the moment Terry leaves the car park for thedifficult walk to the first lake. This adds to the challenge,as he has to carry all of his diving equipment with him.Each dive must be a complete, fully immersed dive, whichlasts for a minimum of 10 minutes. The car journeybetween each lake is a total of 436 miles.

Terry is completing the challenge in aid of CancerResearch and has set up a just giving page,http://www.justgiving.com/Reservoir-Dogs, which hehopes will help him raise his target of £1,000.
