(pressebox) (Düsseldorf, 2015-05-07) For the first time, the German Welding Society (DVS) is offering the internationally active users of thermal spraying all the sets of DVS rules relevant to these coating technologies in one English-language anthology. In Volume 9: "DVS Technical Bulletins on Thermal Spraying" in the English Edition series, application aids close to practical needs are made available in a compact form on over 140 pages. The anthology encompasses main subject areas such as surface preparation, material selection, coating processes as well as test procedures and aspects relating to quality assurance. The anthology is rounded off by information about the Hazardous Substances Ordinance and about occupational health and safety.

The compiled set of DVS rules are working results from the technical-scientific bodies at DVS, principally from Working Group V 7: "Thermal Spraying and Thermally Sprayed Coatings". Over 2,300 specialists from the economic and scientific fields, from authorities and from other divisions at DVS are involved in more than 200 subject-oriented working bodies.
