Surface Technology 7,5 Credits

Course Contents

The surfaces must meet the product requirements for both functionality and durability. Based on the understanding of the mechanisms behind the challenges, the surface treatment and coating techniques studied in this course constitute the tool case to achieve tailored surface properties of products for manifold applications.

The course includes the following elements:
• Surface degradation, corrosion, wear
• Fundamentals of chemistry and electrochemistry
• Pre-treatment
• Electroplating
• Thermal spray, laser-cladding, build-up welding
• Hot-dip coatings
• Enamel
• Organic coatings
• PVD, CVD
• Conversion coatings
• Thermal/mechanical/chemical surface treatment
• Regulations, safety, and sustainability in surface-related processing
