Coated Surfaces
Coated surfaces are materials covered with a protective or functional layer to improve their appearance, durability, or performance. These coatings can prevent corrosion, reduce friction, resist stains, or add aesthetic appeal. For example, car paint protects the metal, while non-stick cookware coatings make cleaning easier. They are applied through various processes such as painting, plating, or spraying, creating a uniform layer. Coated surfaces help extend the lifespan of objects, enhance their function, and sometimes provide specialized features like resistance to weather, chemicals, or everyday wear.
