About
Frank Kurze’s research centers on thermal spray technology, with a particular emphasis on process reliability and advanced plasma spray systems. His major contribution lies in the condition monitoring of the TriplexPro™-210, a three-cathode cascaded plasma spray torch that has become a cornerstone of operations at the Jülich Thermal Spray Center (JTSC). By investigating the cascaded nozzle design—which offers distinct advantages over conventional single-cathode torches—Kurze has helped improve the stability and predictability of coating processes critical to industries like aerospace and energy. His 2022 paper on this topic, though early in its citation life, has already garnered 3 citations, signaling its relevance to peers seeking to enhance torch longevity and coating quality. Kurze’s work is notable for bridging fundamental plasma physics with practical industrial reliability, making him a key figure in advancing thermal spray as a precise, dependable manufacturing technique. His ongoing efforts at JTSC continue to shape how researchers and engineers approach process control in high-performance coating applications.
