NSF Center for Thermal Spray Research

摘要

For the past 8 years, the National Science Foundation - Materials Research Science Engineering Center (NSF-MRSEC) Center for Thermal Spray Research (CTSR) at the State University of New York at Stony Brook has been at the heart of a number of exciting and fundamental initiatives to enhance the scientific base of thermal spray (TS) coating technology. TS is a rapidly evolving field that services a broad industrial community; coatings are ubiquitous in infrastructure maintenance, gas turbine engines, automotive and construction industries. Emerging applications include coatings for orthopedic and dental implants, free-standing fuel cells, and functional sensors for harsh environments.
