ASM International Working to Develop Industry Certified Thermal Spray Certification Program

ASM International, the technical and educational society for materials science and engineering, is working closely with the ASM Thermal Spray Society (TSS) to develop the thermal spray industry's first certification program: Certified Thermal Spray Operator (CTSO). "With the help and guidance of the thermal spray industry, ASM and TSS are developing a program that will encourage lifelong learning and education, set a benchmark for the industry and provide a career path for thermal sprayers," said Louise Wehrle, Ph.D., CAE, manager of ASM Certification Programs. "At the same time, we expect the program to help to increase consistency and reliability of the thermal spraying process and spur growth of the overall thermal spray industry."
