Japan Thermal Spray Society

About JTSS

Japan Thermal Spray Society (JTSS) is the only specialized organization on thermal spray technology in Japan, established in 1957. JTSS is engaged in the improvement of thermal spray technology through its various activities including the annual meetings, publication of journals and so on. Its consisting members are currently more than 80 thermal spraying or related companies and 400 individual engineers and researchers.

Message from President

Thermal spray technology has found a permanent place as an essential role in the fabrication of thick coating for the development of various functions, such as, wear, corrosion, heat insulation, and so on. In recent years, in particular, we have established its controllability or reliability by elucidating coating formation phenomena precisely and introducing various measurements and control technologies, and have received more attention as a fundamental technology in many industrial fields. Moreover, fabrication technology of thick coating is surely developing as cold spray by deposition of non-fusion solid particles and suspension spray which enables unique coating formation by deposition of fine particles through liquid, in addition to the normal thermal spray technology. We cannot help believing that this thick coating formation technology by the deposition of fine particle materials continues developing more and more, while conveying an essence of the technology to young generation growing one after another. From now on, we will expand and strengthen our activities both in domestic and to global, through organization enhancement, substantiation of activities, strengthening of partnership with Japan Thermal Sprayers Association, strengthening of cooperation with domestic and international (especially Asian) associated societies. We’d like to work toward organizing a human group: everyone happily gathers, the young generation grows up, each one works hard. Finally, we’re inclined to contribute to our society. I appreciate understanding and cooperation of all members and all secretariats in our society.
