Publication History

This volume collects several Accepted Practice and white paper documents that were previously available as separate downloadable files on the ASM Thermal Spray Society website (www.asminternational.org/tss). The documents were edited for consistency of format for this volume, but the substance of the documents was not altered.

Two of the Accepted Practice documents included here are previously unpublished:

• Accepted Practice for Metallographic Preparation of Thermal Spray Coating Samples

• Accepted Practice for Recognizing Artifacts in Air Plasma Spray Thermal Barrier Coating Microstructures

In addition to the items in this volume, the ASM Thermal Spray Society Accepted Practices Committee has published the following documents in the Journal of Thermal Spray Technology:
