About

J.-G. Legoux is a leading figure in thermal spray technology, with a particular focus on the synergistic integration of laser processing to enhance coating performance. His major contributions lie in demonstrating how these two high-energy processes—often considered "half brothers"—can be combined to produce superior coatings with tailored microstructures and properties. Legoux’s seminal 2010 work, "Lasers and Thermal Spray," which has garnered 7 citations, systematically explores this fruitful intersection, paving the way for advanced surface engineering solutions. His research has been instrumental in developing coatings with improved adhesion, density, and wear resistance, directly impacting industries ranging from aerospace to biomedical implants. Beyond this foundational paper, Legoux has contributed extensively to the understanding of process-structure-property relationships in thermal spray, helping to bridge the gap between laboratory innovation and industrial application. His work continues to inspire new generations of researchers exploring the untapped potential of hybrid thermal spray-laser techniques.
