Surface Engineering Relevance

There is an exemplary shift in Surface Engineering in recent years from traditional electroplating to leading edge thin and ultra thin surface finishing processes assisted by advanced sources like plasma, laser, ion, electron, pulsed arc, spark and microwave energies. The scope and potential of interdisciplinary surface engineering have thus grown into a wide range of applications which include critical components from almost all major industries such as automotive, power, steel, aerospace, nuclear, biomedical, petrochemical, clean energy and electronic systems. This programme on Surface Engineering for industrial applications provides an overview of technology trends, development challenges in methods, materials and appl ications with special emphasis on upcoming technologies for new cluster industries. The sessions and discussions focus on the comprehensive applications and provide an insight into modern trends on Surface Engineering.
