Today's shortages of resources make the search for wear and
corrosion resistant materials one of the most important tasks of
the next century. Since the surface of a material is the location
where any interaction occurs, it is that there the hardest
requirements on the material are imposed: to be wear resistant for
tools and bearings; to be corrosion resistant for turbine blades
and tubes in the petrochemical industry; to be antireflecting for
solar cells; to be decorative for architectural panels and to
combine several of these properties in other applications. Surface
engineering is the general term that incorporates all the
techniques by which a surface modification can be accomplished.
These techniques include both coating and modification of the
surface by ion implantation and laser beam melting. In recent years
a continuously growing number of these techniques were developed to
the extent that it became more and more difficult to maintain an
overlook and to understand which of these highly differentiated
techniques might be applied to resolve a given surface engineering
problem. A similar development is also occuring for surface
characterization techniques. This volume contains contributions
from renowned scientists and engineers to the Eurocourse the aim of
which was to inform about the various techniques and to give a
comprehensive survey of the latest development on this subject.
