About

A.P. Newbery is a materials scientist whose research centers on the thermal spray processing of metals and alloys, with a particular focus on electric arc spray forming and the oxidation phenomena that occur during deposition. His most-cited work, "Oxidation during electric arc spray forming of steel" (2006, 66 citations), provides critical insights into how in-flight oxidation affects the microstructure and mechanical properties of spray-formed steel components. This contribution has been foundational for understanding process-structure relationships in thermal spray manufacturing, enabling more controlled production of high-performance coatings and near-net-shape parts. Newbery's research bridges fundamental materials science and practical engineering, addressing challenges in oxidation control, splat formation, and coating integrity. His work is widely referenced by researchers and engineers working to optimize thermal spray processes for industrial applications, including wear-resistant coatings and structural repair. Through detailed experimental analysis and mechanistic modeling, Newbery has helped advance the reliability and performance of spray-formed materials, making his contributions valuable to both academic metallurgists and practitioners in surface engineering.
