Since 1992, JTST has been a flag bearer of the international surface engineering community regarding the dissemination of all types of R&D information and trends about thermal spray technology. The knowledge bestowed in JTST is important to all sectors within the thermal spray supply chain, including feedstock/equipment providers, original equipment/engine manufacturers (OEMs), maintenance repair and overhaul plants (MROs), and thermal spray service centres, universities, and research centres.
