Surface Engineering


Surface Engineering


The modern trend is to use surface engineering techniques to provide high performance surfaces on substrate materials providing vastly improved component and tool performance, and life, at reasonable costs. The expansion of surface engineering has largely taken place over the last thirty years. The present situation is that most parts high performance engines have their surfaces treated to withstand temperature, wear, and corrosion. The majority of the cutting tools used in machining have improved surface hardness, wear resistance etc resulting from use of surface engineering processes

Typical Surface Engineering processes include

  1. Surface Heat Treatments
  2. Engineering Paints
  3. Vitreous Enamelling
  4. Powder Coatings
  5. Zinc coatings
  6. Tin Plate
  7. Electroplating
  8. Cadmium Plating
  9. Anodising
  10. Thermal Spray Coatings (Plasma, arc, D-gun, HVOF.
  11. Plasma Ion Nitriding/Carburising/Boronising
  12. Pack Cementation
  13. Ion Implantation
  14. Ceramic, Cermet, PCD and CBC metrials.
  15. Chemical Vapour Deposition.
  16. Physical Vapour Deposition.
