Surface and coating technologies are used in almost all the industries in various forms to alter the surface properties of the component without altering the properties of the bulk component. This course is designed to make young and motivated students familiar with various state-of-the-art as well as newly emerging surface and coating technologies and their potential applications including but not limited to power generation, bio-medical, transportation, renewable energy, nuclear etc. After completing this course, the students shall:
1. Have acquired a breadth of information regarding various traditional, state-of-the-art as well as newly emerging surface and coating technologies along with their potential applications;
2. Be able to meticulously categorize and understand the failure behavior of industrial components due to various surface degradation forms such as wear, erosion, corrosion, bio-degradation etc.
This course will cover the following aspects:
1. Surface engineering by applying coatings: thin and thick coatings etc.
2. Surface engineering by mechanical means: machining, grinding, burnishing, grit blasting, shot peening, rolling etc.
3. Surface engineering by thermal means: for example, by laser etc.
4. Surface degradation: Wear, corrosion, erosion, thermal fatigue, thermal shock etc.
