SURFACE TREATMENT AND COATING

Surface Treatment and Coating

Surface Treatment and Coating

The majority of engineering failures are due to surface initiated effects such as wear, corrosion and fatigue. Surface treatment / coatings (T / C) offer opportunities for prevention of failure and often to reduce costs. T / C of choice is an important part of design for manufacture (DFM) spectrum and has been very elusive work to formalize. With the advent of a knowledge-based system, providing T / C selection of the designer in the early stages of the design process has become a practical reality. Reports of TESS ...
