Technologies that are intended to transform the properties of metallic or non-metallic constituents, especially on the surface for either decorative or functional resolves are in general called surface engineering. The main motive behind the development of this technology is to reduce or eliminate corrosion, increase wear resistance and lengthen the component life. A precise and well-calculated process makes the surface more visually attractive and enhances the durability of the material. The most common examples of surface engineering is electroplating, applying metal coatings, aluminium anodising, electro polishing and so on.

These processes apart there are some simple but effective methods that are carried out to protect and lengthen the life of metal surfaces. The metal is heated in presence of specific gases which modify the surface structure and to some extent the properties of a substance which results in softening or hardening and a considerable change in composition to produce unique surface properties that are sought after. Methods like galvanizing, tinning, metal spraying and enamelling are also followed ...
... to create a comparatively dense layer on the surface of the material thereby protecting the metal against deterioration.

Surface engineering is no doubt that makes use of a variety of surface coating and modification methods in order to produce diverse properties which act as a protective aid to the material. This technology is employed in sectors like the manufacture of advanced engineering tools and products that enhance the ability to add value to products. Surface engineering technology has also found a place in several application sectors like the equipment industry wherein they have created a strong influence in terms of design modifications and cost-effective benefits.
