Surface Engineering : Conceiving Surface Properties of Materials

Collectively comprising of numerous surface coating and surface modification techniques and processes surface engineering collectively is a wide ranging and analytic technology. The technology basically is capable of creating a diverse set of surface properties to make the challenging requirements of users and is considered as the most suitable solution. The basic reason for the modification of the surface structure of the material surface is to protect it from atmospheric, chemical, or any other accidental actions, which may otherwise destroy the entire material. While there has been various methods and technologies that have been used to carry out this particular action with advancement of science and technology the methods procedures and processes have also been upgraded along with the use of sophisticated devices and equipment.


The protection of material surfaces was initially carried by employing very simple methods like coating metal surfaces with agents like paint, red oxide or chromium. While paint and red oxide application was done manually using a brush or roller, chromium has to be done by a chemical method known as electrolysis, where, in the material, which had to be coated with chromium would be used as one of the electrodes. Spray painting was an upgrade of simple painting technique, where the paint would be brought to lower consistency and would be sprayed on the surface using a spray gun. Here the application of paint on the surface would give a smooth finish, and totally eliminate streaks and craters, that would otherwise be created with a brush or a roller. However, this method also had its disadvantages. The first and foremost one was the chipping of paint, which would occur if the paint could not adhere to the metal surface or other material surface.


So, in other words this method was not a permanent method of protecting the material surface. In the recent years surface engineering with an increasing demand has also updated into advanced scientific methods like plasma, treatment, and so on. While there are cases where in surface engineering methodologies are employed to protect the surface of material likewise, there are cases where in properties of metallic and non-metallic components or surfaces are altered for decorative purposes also. Another very commonly used method to protect metal surfaces that are used to make cabinets, shelves and similar items is that of powder coating. In powder coating, a spray of fine quality powder of the desired colour is sprayed onto the surface thereby creating a protective layer. Engineering specialists like WWG who are the pioneers surface engineering techniques are constantly looking up for highly sought after technologies in this field, by combining integrated engineering services offering diverse facilities in mechanical engineering services, water, treatment, power generation marine and petro chemical sectors.
