Module overview

This module covers the aspects of surface engineering, to develop fundamental understanding and the role of materials to allow surface selection for mechanical contacts and their surrounding environmental conditions.

The module will explore a range of surface treatments and advanced coatings that are designed minimise wear, friction and surface oxidation / corrosion. Applications and economics of surface treatments will be addressed by means of industrial case studies.
