关于热喷涂从业人员教育培训和资格认证前所未有的重要性和需求度认识

热喷涂技术属于表面技术范畴,广泛应用于高科技领域,是一项正在不断发展的传统技术。热喷涂技术可应用于喷气式飞机发动机,电力行业和印刷行业,可满足各种涂层的需求。国际标准和准则将热喷涂定义为一门"特殊工艺",掌握这门技术需要设立校准和监控系统以及各类参数。同时,有经验的、接受过专业培训、具有资质的操作人员至关重要,因为热喷涂工艺的结果只能用有限的非破坏性方法检测,操作人员的素质将直接影响工艺的效果。热喷涂从业人员的培训和考核分别参考EWF(欧洲焊接、连接和切割联合会)欧洲培训和资质考核指南。通过资格考试,尤其对于热喷涂从业人员来说,能确保其技术的熟练程度和技巧的掌握。另外,可以降低人力成本和提高从业人员的质量意识。热喷涂技术必须符合相应的质量标准,如ISO9001或者GTS-QM指南,这意味着热喷涂企业应该对职工进行培训、资质考核以及进一步教育。与预期相反,实际经验显示各行业迫切要求从业者进行系统全面的EWF培训。航空、铁路和电力工程领域对欧洲热喷涂从业人员(ETS)和欧洲热喷涂专家(ETSS)资格的需求也在日益增长。

Important and in Demand Than Ever：Training and Qualiifcation of Thermal Spray Personnel

Thermal spraying is a constantly expanding technology within the surface technology sector, established long time in a wide range of hi-tech applications. Whether in jet engines, in power plants or the printing industry, endless coating requirements can be fulfilled with thermal spraying. However in order to master the“special process”–a term used in international standards and rules–calibrated and monitored systems and parameters are needed. Also, experienced, trained and certified personnel plays an important role to rule such a special process, whose results can only be tested by non-destructive methods to a certain restricted extent. Training and examination of spray personnel is aligned with the respective European training and qualification guidelines of the EWF （European Federation of Welding, Joining and Cutting）. Passing the examination, especially for the thermal sprayers confirms their technical proficiency and skills. Addi-tionally, it clearly influences the worker＆#39;s labour input and his quality awareness in the workplace. Compliance with standards like ISO 9001 or GTS-QM-Guidelines, means for companies to have their staff trained, qualified and further educated. Experiences have shown that-contrary to expectations-the complete EWF training is in high demand. Sectors such as aerospace, railway and power plant engineering are also increasingly demanding the qualifications for ETS – European Thermal Sprayer and ETSS–European Thermal Spraying Specialist.
