These industries have needs for surface coatings of many varieties applied by such methods as Thermal spraying, Vapour Deposition, Welding and Plating, to name a few. Each of these technologies have variations on their common
theme providing a multitude of coating characteristics which find applications in all engineering industries. These variations have been introduced by research and development in the search for ever more flexibility and quality and hardly a year goes by without the introduction of more advanced methods. Changes in existing coatings occur much more frequently.

For example, in recent years the Thermal spraying industry has seen conventional flame spraying overtaken first by electric arc, then Plasma in turn im-proved by High Velocity systems and lately the introduction of Cold spray. These changes do not replace the old systems, but introduce more scope for applications, previously untried, and, perhaps more importantly, a better un-derstanding of expected performance in service.

The expert speakers listed here will not only cover the typical coatings pres-ently being applied by the contracting industry and users, but also a view of future trends being established by leading research and development organisations in the U.K.

The association is convinced that such events as this conference, held on a regular basis, are essential to provide engineers up to date information on the ever changing technologies in surface engineering.
