The NATO S&T Collaboration Support Office and the Applied Vehicle Technologies Panel (AVT) are pleased to announce the

AVT-393 Research Workshop

on

"Environmental and Thermal Barrier Coatings for Military Aircraft Engines"

to be held in

Ottawa, Canada 

15-17 May 2024

In-Person Meeting

 The registration deadline is 15 March 2024

The meeting is open to citizens from NATO nations, Australia, Japan and Sweden.

Please be aware that the setups for the event are "in-person only" (hybrid/virtual attendance is not possible). 

Theme & expected scientific outcome:

The AVT-393 Team has arranged a Research Workshop (RWS) on Environmental and Thermal Barrier Coatings for Military Aircraft Engines. This RWS seeks to understand the problem around the thermal and environmental barrier coatings (E/TBC) materials and their damage and failures caused by oxidation and hot corrosion. This two-year AVT activity culminates in a workshop to identify the current status of the research into E/TBCs and the current capability gaps. In addition, this activity will help establish NATO ‘best practices’ in E/TBCs processing, qualification and acceptance for combustor and turbine components in military aircraft engines. This proposal will be jointly administrated under the Applied Vehicles Technologies (AVT) Panel by the Power and Propulsion Systems (PPS) and Mechanical Systems, Structures and Materials (MSM) Technical Committees.

The registration deadline is 15 March 2024.

*The General Information Package (GIP) will be visible and ready for download after your registration has been confirmed and validated by the AVT Panel Office. You will find GIP in the grey box below the google map picture (must be first login to STO Events).  

We look forward to seeing you all in Ottawa!
