Surface Engineering and Coatings
Surface engineering companies apply coatings, treatments, and thin-film processes to enhance wear resistance, corrosion protection, thermal stability, and optical performance of components. Academic materials science groups develop novel plasma-assisted and sol-gel coating processes that companies license for industrial scale-up.
