In our laboratory, which was founded in 1992, coatings are used in various fields ranging from biomedical to aerospace fields by using Thermal Spray technology. However, tests and analyzes are performed with the help of various devices.
Thermal Spray Technologies Research and Application Laboratory (TESLAB), which has been operating since 1992 at Sakarya University, has grown into a leading facility in the Thermal Spray Technologies field with the projects received from SPO, TÜBİTAK and other public institutions since 2007. TESLAB makes coatings using Thermal Spray technologies in a wide range of areas from biomedical to aerospace.
TESLAB serves as a material and venue for many courses within the Faculty of Engineering at Sakarya University. It is a large team with Assist., Assoc., Specialist, Technician and Project Assistant students around Prof. Dr. Fatih ÜSTEL, he is the founder.
While training activities continue in the laboratory, applications are made for both laboratory personnel and other academic community. Applications include coating services, testing / analysis services and characterization services. Our laboratory has proved itself with many completed and ongoing projects. Some of our completed and ongoing projects;

Our laboratory, which provides services for commercial purposes as well as educational and academic purposes, has initiated the efforts to obtain quality certificates in order to certify the quality of the studies carried out in the biomedical field in which it concentrates its activities and has taken steps in this direction. In this context, TS EN ISO 13485: 2016-Medical Devices Quality Management System has been agreed on the provision of the document. Our laboratory, which passed the first stage in June 2014 and the second stage in October 2014, was awarded TS EN ISO 13485: 2016-Medical Devices Quality Management System certificate. In 2018, the certificate was renewed.
