Surface Engineering Technology - a quest to shield the material

Metallic and non-metallic surfaces can be modified to achieve decorative or functional objectives. This in other words may be done in order to protect them from getting corroded, rust, and other various weathering actions which may reduce the life of the metal on the whole. Sometimes they are painted in order to enhance the look and for an impressive visual appeal. However, this section of engineering is termed surface engineering technology. 

Surface engineering as such is a wide-ranging technology, which involves various surface coating, and reforming, techniques that result in logical alteration of the properties of the material. Surface engineering technology has not only been employed in the industrial sector but also has found several applications like the manufacture of sports equipment and similar creating a strong impact on design changes and resultant commercial benefits.

Material surface protection that cannot be achieved either by a simple coating material or by the basic material alone can be achieved by employing the logical theories of surface engineering. Acting as a valuable tool in industrial applications, it is an area of interest to the fabrication industry, microelectronics, leisure industry, and a host of other similar sectors and areas. Likewise, this technique is employed in technological applications, including the protection of metal cutting tools, and other optical devices by adding thin films or coatings on the surface.

While discussing the working of thin films and coatings, the key factors that it crucially depends on are the physical attributes, the coating film morphology, and the phase composition of the process. Nevertheless, the parameters can be attuned in order to regulate the file thickness, including hardness, and residual stress. The old-age traditional surface coating technologies on the material includes electro-brush plating, chemical vapor deposition, and so on.

WWG Engineering is an integrated engineering solutions organization, amongst the thermal spray coating, rotating equipment specialists, and corrosion resistant coating service providers in Singapore. Constantly observing contemporary technologies, WWG Engineering team members are trained, and educated to create a combined strength of competencies in surface engineering, equipment refurbishing and remanufacturing, and other allied mechanical engineering services. WWG Engineering is also rendering services to Singapore’s diverse engineering sectors such as hydro power generation, marine services, and Petrochemicals.
