"Title to be announced​"

As the title indicates, thermal spray coatings are typically thin - .001" to .020". However, the application of these thin coatings provides unique and enhanced characteristics to the surface than can generally be achieved by the bulk component alone. This results in longer functional life, less down time and lower cost as well as typically much shorter lead times than the purchase of OEM components. This technology has been utilized for over 100 years having first been introduced in Germany. The first metalizing wire spray device "The Schoop Device" was awarded a patent in 1915. Interestingly some of today's metalizing guns have not varied greatly from that initial 1915 design. In these early years, thermal spray was used as a method for repairing or touching up galvanizing. In WWII it was used extensively for repair of tank and aircraft components because of the short supply of OEM parts.
 
The industry literally "took off" with its widespread adoption in the aerospace industry from the late 60's into the 70's. It remains the largest use of thermal spray coatings today. In this presentation we will wander through a myriad of applications and application methods from aerospace to automotive to energy to primary metals to marine to infrastructure to biomedical. We'll look at coating the splash zones of offshore oil rigs; to coating the I-beams of the main section of the Kosciusko Bridge in Manhattan; to large rolls for the steel and paper industry as well as aircraft engine blades, vanes and landing gear components. We'll touch on some of the fun applications of thermal spray from the theatrical to art and architecture. Of growing interest today is the use of thermal spray and cold spray copper as an antimicrobial on high contact surfaces such as found in hospital environments as well as in public high traffic areas. 
 
Featured in the presentation will be a video of a typical coating application showing a part, the coating and ancillary equipment, the required set-up, sound and dust enclosures. This is being graciously provided by Dan Hayden, President and 4th Generation Owner of the thermal spray and laser cladding company, Hayden Corporation, West Springfield, MA.
 
After a hundred years, thermal spray and its derivatives continue to play an important role in numerous industries. The future remains bright for thermal spray as new applications, new materials and more efficient technologies continue to be developed.

Ms. Mozolic has 45 years of technical sales, marketing, business development and senior management experience in the thermal spray industry. She has held positions of increasing responsibility with Praxair (formerly Union Carbide), Sulzer Plasma Technik (currently Oerlikon Metco) and H.C. Starck and has extensive experience in Plasma, HVOF, Cold Spray, EBPVD, VPS and Wire materials, coatings, equipment, systems and applications. Her expertise spans many industries including energy, aerospace, automotive, printing, medical, gas and oil exploration, chemical processing, mining, semiconductor and plastics. In 2006 she decided to utilize this experience and founded the Mozolic Group, a consulting company focused on the development, optimization, implementation and sales of surface technology solutions for industry.  Ms. Mozolic continues to be an active member of the Boston Chapter of ASM having served as its Chair in 2017 and most recently elected to the 2021 Class of ASM Fellows in recognition of her contributions to the thermal spray industry. She holds a BS and MS in Materials Science from MIT.

"A special thank you goes out to Instron, JEOL, Dynamet Technology, Surmet, and Thermo Fisher Scientific for supporting this year's Materials Experience"
