"Surface Engineering in the Transport Industry"

Wednesday 5th December
Heritage Motor Centre,
Gaydon,
Warwickshire.

The use of surface engineering to improve component performance has been the subject of much of the development in recent years,.particularly that of thermal spraying in the Aerospace and Automotive industries. As a result large production quantities of parts are now being treated using specially developed equipment and programmed coatings using robots in conjunction with automated production plant are now commonplace.

This will be extended in the future by the use of coatings to enable the designer to extend the capabilities of his product. As an example, thermal barrier coatings enable higher operating temperatures which improve the efficiency of gas turbine and other engines in the transport industry.

Surface coatings have moved on from the early useage for repair and salvage, followed by surface improvement resisting severe wear and attack by aggressive environments. They have now moved on to become an important addition to manufacturing technologies available to enable product design to further the capabilities of engines and other machines.

Engineers, not only those in the transport industry but from all areas of industrial activity, will benefit from learning how surface coatings are now being used and assess how they may be used profitably in other industries in todays competitive global manufacturing industry.
