Surface engineering is a sub-discipline of material science with applications in many industries including mining, oil & gas, steel, agriculture, automotive, etc.  If a material degrades over time, it always starts from the surface as a result of interaction with the environment, causing wear and corrosion. Surface engineering processes in combination with smart material choices can significantly extend a components service life. Thus, saving resources, time and money.

This Webinar featured presentations from:

• Professor Chris Berndt (Swinburne) Presentation on challenges and opportunities in surface engineering of advanced materials.
• Dr Thomas Schläfer (LaserBond Ltd) Presented on laser cladding and thermal spraying as coating processes used for wear and corrosion protection in heavy industries.
• Dr Patrick Keil (BASF Coatings GmbH) Presented on the challenges in coating development for the automotive industry.
