SSSE 2024
Co-sponsored by IOM3.
TSSEA’s 2024 conference on Striving for Sustainability in Surface Engineering (SSSE24) will be the UK’s foremost conference for thermal spray and surface engineering researchers, engineers, technicians, industrialists and managers. The one-day conference will cover the whole spectrum of thermal and cold spray technologies and other surface engineering solutions. This year, the conference has a dedicated focus on sustainability and how the sector is gearing up to achieve net-zero in line with government and global priorities. Topics will cover processing-microstructure-properties relationships, new and innovative coating applications, new compositions, industrial solutions in wear, corrosion, thermal protection, sensors, diagnostics, and many more.
