Reliable Surface Modification Techniques

Abstract

Loss of material due to corrosion, erosion, wear and oxidation is a major problem in various industries. Recently, various surface modification methods have been employed to improve the service life of distinct engineering parts by improving their resistance to corrosion, wear and erosion. These methods boost thermal and biocompatibility in addition to the mechanical and physical qualities. To offer a thorough review of surface modification techniques, including mechanical, chemical, and thermal procedures, this chapter has three main objectives. Overall, this chapter provides a detailed study on working principles, merits, demerits, and applications of various surface modification techniques.
