This journal focuses on the engineering of surfaces and coatings, investigating their properties and applications. Research covers methods for creating and modifying surfaces, including thermal spray, laser cladding, sputtering, and anodization. Studies examine how these surface treatments affect material properties such as hardness, wear resistance, corrosion resistance, and biocompatibility, particularly for applications in biomedical implants, aerospace, and energy storage.
