The Journal of Thermal Spray Technology (JTST) will publish a special issue on Intelligent Coating Processes in 2026. To meet the demands of Industry 4.0 and Industry 5.0, thermal spraying and cladding technologies are becoming increasingly integrated into digitally controlled workflows. This special issue of JTST aims to showcase the latest advancements in the research and applications of intelligent coating processes, including the use of artificial intelligence (AI)/machine learning (ML) in coating design, integration of multiscale modelling, digital twin creation, data-driven process development, and more.
Dr. Alejandro Vargas-Uscategui (Australia), Prof. Ali Dolatabadi (Canada), and Dr. Anssi Laukkanen (Finland) will serve as guest editors.
Interested authors are strongly encouraged to submit an abstract to Dr. Vargas-Uscategui (alejandro.vargas@csiro.au), Prof. Dolatabadi (ali.dolatabadi@utoronto.ca), and Dr. Laukkanen (anssi.laukkanen@vtt.fi) for consideration and comments before the preparation of a full manuscript.
Abstract submissions are due by May 30. For more information, please visit here.
