Emergence of chemical and electrochemical processes in surface engineering

摘要: The new century opens with a large stock of available coating process technologies, among which are old (electroplating) and (physical vapour deposition, PVD) techniques. While electroplating may have some disadvantages, its proven technology is primary importance, demonstrated by number large, continuing applications. By contrast, the cost operating disadvantages PVD will ensure that it maintains small specialist niche in spectrum.
