Metals and Alloys serve multiple functions ,e.g. mechanical, electrical and/or chemical, if selected and treated properly. This site is to address and recommend the different verities of technology that can be applied to improve or enhance a surface, in some cases a bulk, properties.
In this site, emphasis will be focused on the following categories of Surface Treatment Technology:
Surface Cleaning Coatings Vacuum Coatings Corrosion Protection Electroplating Electroless Plating Heat Treatment Surface Analysis
