Surface Treatments
Surface treatments refer to processes applied to the outer layer of materials to improve their properties or performance. These treatments can enhance durability, corrosion resistance, adhesion, or aesthetic appeal. Common methods include coating, plating, polishing, and heat treatment. For example, applying paint to metal protects it from rust, while anodizing aluminum increases its resistance to scratches and wear. Surface treatments are widely used in industries like manufacturing, automotive, and construction to extend the lifespan of products and enhance their functionality.
