December 2014 3 Thermal Spray Process Training Course Description With any technical process, trained and experienced operating and engineering personnel are a key ingredient for success. This is important in both development and production implementation of any technology. Thermal spray is no exception to this requirement. This course provides a practical mix of theory and hands-on instruction at your facility that results in operators and process engineers with problem solving capabilities. During an FAA Approved 5 day on-site course, students fill their thermal spray toolbox with valuable tools to solve real time thermal spray issues when they return to the production environment. The training is customized to your processes, equipment, and coating issues and can be modified to meet a 2-3 day format if required. Testing of personnel is focused on your needs and requirements. The course includes: Outline of Standard Thermal Spray (TS) Processes Theory of Thermal Spray Processes Cleaning and Grit Blasting Cooling, Fixturing, and Masking Process Control, Testing, Powders, and Applications Practical Hands-on Use of the Equipment Hands-on rebuild of Equipment Hands-on Use and Theory of Plume Sensors
Learning Objectives 4 Upon completion of this course, participants should be able to: Comprehend the basics of thermal spray technology Focus on the critical nature of each step in the thermal spray process and identify needed procedures for each sequence Use the tools in the thermal spray toolbox to solve thermal spray problems Rebuild the necessary equipment for the processes in question Understand the use and benefits of plume sensor technology Who Should Attend Thermal Spray Operators and Supervisors Thermal Spray Process Engineers Engineers associated with thermal spray design and applications Sincerely, John P. Sauer President
