Surface Engineering

Surface Engineering is the branch of Advanced Materials deals with the surface of the solid matter. Every solid has its own bulk material called bulk phase surrounded by surface called as surface phase. Initially the surface engineering is not employed in wide scale. It is usually applied to electro plating techniques to avoid corrosion, wear and tear etc., But now a days it plays a crucial role in various branches like physical, chemical, aeronautical, electrical, thermodynamics and mechanical sciences etc., at present it is not only used for the wear and tear but also used in the various process like induction, plasma, friction solar beams etc.
