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 in different applications filed.
The course includes the following elements:
- Surface degradation, corrosion, wear
- Fundamentals of chemistry and electrochemistry
- Pre-treatment and conversion coatings
- Anodizing
- Electroplating
- Thermal spray, laser-cladding, build-up welding
- Hot-dip coatings
- Organic coatings
- PVD, CVD
- Regulations, safety, and sustainability in surface-related processing
