In our modern world, technical surfaces are high demanded. The task of surface technology is to upgrade them and make them functional. It deals with every controlled modification of a component's surface using a variety of technologies for coating, material conversion and material removal processes. The aim is to make surfaces more durable and resistant and to give them tailor-made mechanical, physical and chemical properties.
