surface engineering

ABSTRACT
Surface engineering encompasses the research and technical activity aimed at the design, manufacturing, investigation and utilization of surface layers, both for technological and for end use, with properties better than those of the core [7] Surface engineering can be the key to improve performance for many products by improving their properties, such as corrosion resistance, wear resistance, fatigue limit etc Surface engineering practices play a major role in ameliorating problems and enhancing prospects for advancement in three major areas of technology, corrosion, wear and manufacturing [8] The expanding use of surface engineering generated a need for understanding or at least an awareness of the physical and chemical properties of materials (coatings/substrate), their mechanical properties and especially structure/property relationships in materials
