Surfaces are the bounding faces of solids. The interaction of component surface with the working environment results in wear & corrosion. Estimated loss due to wear & corrosion in USA is around $500 billion. Engineered surfaces are the key to the reduction of losses due to wear and corrosion. In the USA, around 9524 establishments (including automotive, aircraft, power and construction industries) depend on engineered surfaces with support from 23,466 industries. Around 65 top academic institutions world-wide are engaged in surface engineering research and teaching. There has been a paradigm shift in surface engineering from age-old electroplating to processes such as vapor phase deposition, diffusion, thermal spray & welding using advanced heat sources like plasma, laser, ion, electron, microwave, solar beams, pulsed arc, pulsed combustion, spark, friction and induction. Metal, ceramic, polymer and composite surfaces are modified by application of heat or thermally assisted coatings with dissimilar materials. In addition to conventional materials it is possible to develop newer coating materials by processes such as RSP (metallic glasses), plasma polymerization (polymers and copolymers) and thermal spray (graded deposits).
