About Us

Since its founding in 1994, the ASM Thermal Spray Society (TSS) has become the global hub for the thermal spray community; bringing together more than 1,000 members from over 500 leading companies, research institutions, and universities worldwide.

Guided by our vision,  “To be the leading global resource for thermal spray information”, we are dedicated to advancing the science, technology, and application of thermal spray.

To achieve this, the TSS Board of Directors is driving strategic priorities that ensure value for our members and long-term growth for the field:

  • Expanding membership in both established and emerging sectors
  • Elevating corporate visibility and strengthening the value proposition for partners
  • Enhancing member benefits with new products, services, and resources
  • Engaging leading voices from both industry and academia
  • Expanding outreach to raise awareness of thermal spray technology beyond our own industry
  • Increasing global exposure and connectivity

TSS is more than a society, it is a community shaping the future of surface engineering worldwide.
