The objective of the journal is to combine knowledge in the areas of Coating, Composite material, Thermal spraying, Metallurgy and Microstructure. Gas dynamic cold spray is the primary subject of Coating works presented in the journal. Journal of Thermal Spray Technology focused on Composite material research but expanded to cover Particle.
The study of Particle encompasses disciplines such as Mechanics, as well as fields such as Nozzle, all of which overlap with one another. It focuses on Thermal spraying but the discussions also offer insight into other areas such as Residual stress, Deposition (phase transition), Plasma and Cermet. Plasma research is the primary subject tackled in the journal with a focus on Plasma torch.
Metallurgy and Substrate (electronics) are closely related fields of research discussed in Journal of Thermal Spray Technology. While work presented in the journal provided substantial information on Microstructure, it also covered topics in Amorphous solid, Layer (electronics), Chemical engineering and Atmospheric-pressure plasma. In addition to Thermal barrier coating research, Journal of Thermal Spray Technology aims to explore topics under Cubic zirconia, Thermal conductivity and Temperature cycling.
Coating, Composite material, Thermal spraying, Metallurgy and Microstructure are the main subjects of interest in the most cited papers. The published articles link adjacent topics like Composite material with Particle. The journal papers facilitate discussions on Metallurgy that incorporate concepts from other fields like Deposition (phase transition), Scanning electron microscope and Gas dynamic cold spray.
The journal investigates areas of study like Composite material, Coating, Microstructure, Thermal spraying and Gas dynamic cold spray. The study on Composite material presented in it intersects with subjects under the field of Particle. It focuses on Coating but sometimes tackles the closely related topic of Oxide which is concerned with Chemical engineering.
Research in the field of Metallurgy was used to conduct the presented Microstructure study. The research on Thermal spraying tackled can also make contributions to studies in the areas of Residual stress, Combustion, Bond strength, Surface roughness and Fracture toughness. The journal deals with Thermal barrier coating in conjunction with Yttria-stabilized zirconia and similar fields in Superalloy.
A key indicator for each journal is its effectiveness in reaching other researchers with the papers published at that venue.
The chart below presents the interquartile range (first quartile 25%, median 50% and third quartile 75%) of the number of citations of articles over time.
The top authors publishing in Journal of Thermal Spray Technology (based on the number of publications) are:
The overall trend for top authors publishing in this journal is outlined below. The chart shows the number of publications at each edition of the journal for top authors.
Only papers with recognized affiliations are considered
The top affiliations publishing in Journal of Thermal Spray Technology (based on the number of publications) are:
The overall trend for top affiliations publishing in this journal is outlined below. The chart shows the number of publications at each edition of the journal for top affiliations.
The publication chance index shows the ratio of articles published by the best research institutions in the journal edition to all articles published within that journal. The best research institutions were selected based on the largest number of articles published during all editions of the journal.
The chart below presents the percentage ratio of articles from top institutions (based on their ranking of total papers).Top affiliations were grouped by their rank into the following tiers: top 1-10, top 11-20, top 21-50, and top 51+. Only articles with a recognized affiliation are considered.
During the most recent 2021 edition, 8.61% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 28.26% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 13.77% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 15.22% of all publications and 42.75% were from other institutions.
A very common phenomenon observed among researchers publishing scientific articles is the intentional selection of journals they have already attended in the past. In particular, it is worth analyzing the case when the authors participate in the same journal from year to year.
The Returning Authors Index presented below illustrates the ratio of authors who participated in both a given as well as the previous edition of the journal in relation to all participants in a given year.
The graph below shows the Returning Institution Index, illustrating the ratio of institutions that participated in both a given and the previous edition of the conference in relation to all affiliations present in a given year.
Our experience to innovation index was created to show a cross-section of the experience level of authors publishing in a journal. The index includes the authors publishing at the last edition of a journal, grouped by total number of publications throughout their academic career (P) and the total number of citations of these publications ever received (C).
The group intervals were selected empirically to best show the diversity of the authors' experiences, their labels were selected as a convenience, not as judgment. The authors were divided into the following groups:
The chart below illustrates experience levels of first authors in cases of publications with multiple authors.

(2020)For students interested in Materials Science, exploring related online degrees can open doors to diverse career opportunities. Competency-based programs offer a flexible learning structure, allowing learners to progress at their own pace while mastering essential skills. Many competency based universities focus on practical knowledge, making them ideal for working professionals seeking to enhance their expertise.
Beyond traditional science paths, creative fields like the online mfa visual arts programs provide innovative ways to combine technology and artistic design, which can be valuable in materials research and development. Additionally, short certificate programs that pay well online offer targeted training that can quickly boost employment prospects in specialized areas of materials science and engineering.
For those aiming to transition into teaching or training roles within this field, pursuing the best online master's for teaching, particularly in instructional design, equips graduates with skills to develop educational resources and mentor future scientists effectively. These pathways highlight the variety of educational options available online to complement a Materials Science background and help tailor career trajectories to individual goals.
