Surface Engineering is a sub-discipline of material science with applications in industries like: 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 such as deposition welding, thermal spraying and thin film technologies in combination with smart material choices can significantly extend the components service life. Thus saving resources, time and money. the following presentations provided a representation on the current needs for industry and where the research direction needs to be.
