International exchange in the field of thermal spraying and build-up welding at the ITSHC
On 22/23 September 2022, experts from science and industry presented current developments and research approaches in the field of thermal spraying and build-up welding at the international ITSHC in Wrocław, Poland. The two plenary speeches at the opening of the conference were given by Prof Dr Lech Pawłowski and Prof Dr Shrikant Joshi, who spoke earlier this year about the Visiting Scholar Programme Chemnitz University of Technology at the Chair of Materials and Surface Technology (WOT). The WOT team helped to organise the ITSHC with four scientific presentations and contributed intensively to the in-depth discussions. Special thanks go to the organisers for the organisation and execution of the conference, which was very successful in terms of content and organisation.
During the two-day symposium, current development trends in new filler materials and their manufacturing and processing options were reported on in two parallel sessions. Topics relating to additive manufacturing, in particular 3D printing, were also covered. A lively scientific exchange took place in the extensive discussion rounds after the respective specialist presentations and during the evening event. The professional discourse deepened existing contacts and facilitated new ones. Contributions on ultrasound-assisted powder production processes met with particular interest. The special process conditions make it possible to produce spherical powder in a narrow fraction range. In addition, internal porosity and satellite formation are reduced to a minimum. The process is therefore ideally suited to the production of powdered filler materials for thermal spraying and laser cladding. In order to continue and intensify this lively exchange of ideas, the following topics were discussed at the materials technology colloquium to be held in March 2023 WTK in Chemnitz, which met with a positive response from the participants. For the first time, sessions on surface technology topics will be held entirely in English. This will also open up the long-established local conference to an international circle of experts.
