- Process diagnostics
- Characterization of coatings
- Functional coatings and biomaterials
- Thermal and environmental barrier coatings
- Coatings for energy application
- Additive manufacturing
- Post spray treatment
Call for Papers
Abstracts are invited for oral or poster presentations during the congress. The presented papers can be published in a professional journal such as Surface and Coatings Technology (Elsevier).
Deadline for submission of abstract for review: January 14, 2026
Registration start: January 15, 2026
Notification of acceptance and registration: March 1, 2026
Oral & Poster Contributions
Original contributions on advancements in the thermal spray technology including all processes such as flame spray and atmospheric plasma spraying, and more kinetic processes like cold gas spraying (CGS), high velocity oxygen and air fuel spraying (HVOF, HVAF, aerosol deposition), and suspensions and solutions thermal spraying (SPS, SPPS) are welcome. As the conference is a forum for intense exchange between scientists, contributions should give in-depth analyses of spray processes. Contributions that use diagnostic tools and conventional and advanced analytical methods to study the microstructure, optics, mechanics, physics, chemistry, and other properties of sprayed coatings are also expected. Additionally, contributions related to the application of thermally sprayed coatings for example in energy conversion systems are welcome.
An educational course for newcomers in the thermal spray business will be given by experienced seniors in the field: Šárka Houdková, Shrikant V. Joshi, Chang-Jiu Li, Georg Mauer and Lech Pawłowski
A young scientist exchange forum will take place during the reception. During the conference dinner on Thursday, three well-endowed poster awards will be presented.
Industrial Exhibition
Companies are invited to present their products on:
Thermal spraying (spray equipment, diagnostics…)
Materials for spraying (powders, suspensions precursors…)
Characterization tools (mechanical tests, microstructural analysis…)
If you are interested to participate as an exhibitor at the 12 RIPT 2025 please contact Beate Schmitz (ript-2026@fz-juelich.de) for details and a sponsorship contract.
