This course provides a comprehensive introduction to the fundamentals, principles, and advanced applications of Surface Engineering, focusing on how surface properties govern the performance, durability, and functionality of engineering materials. The course integrates concepts from physics, chemistry, and materials science to explain surface-structure-property relationships and their role in modern engineering applications.
Students begin with foundational concepts such as the definition of surfaces, the distinction between surface and bulk properties, and the scope, background, and future of surface engineering. The course then explores surface modification strategies, including coatings, surface treatments, and design modifications, with emphasis on why and how surfaces are engineered for improved corrosion resistance, wear resistance, optical, electrical, biological, and chemical performance.
A significant portion of the course is dedicated to coating materials and processes, covering organic and inorganic coatings, deposition and growth mechanisms, electrochemical and chemical deposition techniques, and conventional coating methods such as hot-dip galvanizing and spray coatings. The course also introduces coating characterization techniques, challenges in coating design, and performance evaluation.
Advanced and futuristic coating technologies are discussed in detail, including Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD), Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD), and Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD). Students learn the working principles, process parameters, advantages, limitations, and comparative analysis of these techniques, along with ALD characteristics such as digital thickness control and metal-organic precursors.
The course further covers vacuum science and vacuum pump systems, essential for thin-film deposition and surface analysis. Topics include vacuum regimes, gas behavior under reduced pressure, gas-transfer and entrapment pumps, and industrial vacuum applications.
In addition, the course introduces screen printing as a surface patterning and coating technique, explaining its principles, process steps, equipment, materials, and industrial relevance.
Overall, the course equips students with both theoretical understanding and practical insight into surface engineering technologies, preparing them to analyze, design, and apply surface modification techniques in research, industrial, and high-technology environments.
