Consequently to the above, some surface treatments are performed as oxidation or nitriding. The use of coatings and surface treatments on this material by laser radiation processes, as well as the introduction of interstitial elements results in the formation of surfaces with specific nature microstructures [4,7]. This diversity in the surface microstructure is mainly due to hydrodynamic instabilities and optical interference in the radiation process. 

Effect of coatings and surface treatments on the corrosion resistance of stainless steel and titanium... 

The electrode resistance values were measured to confirm that the electrodes were electrically isolated and that the apertures were open. Fig. 6 shows a macro-patch recording obtained when a devitellinized oocyte, expressing Shaker potassium channels, was dropped onto an aperture. The ionic currents carried by a population of 80 Shaker channels were measured in response to positive step changes in membrane potential. The overall success rate for forming a gigaseal on a xenopus oocyte using a planar PDMS patch electrode was 13% (10 out of 75). This is lower than the 40 % success rate for the conventional patch electrodes with or without PDMS coating and surface treatment. 

Bhushan, B. and B. K. Gupta. 1991. Handbook of Tribology Materials, Coatings and Surface Treatments. New York McGraw-Hill. Although this work touches on the basics of friction, wear, and lubrication, the vast majority of the text deals with different types of coatings and their application/deposition and with treating surfaces by various methods. 

Surface treatment and coating techniques are the most cost-effective approaches of improving the corrosion performance of Mg alloys and enabling their increased use. In fact, new surface treatment and coating techniques suitable for Mg alloys are urgently needed in many critical applications. This is currently a hot area in the field of corrosion and protection of Mg alloys. It can be predicted that, before a stainless or corrosion-resistant Mg alloy becomes a realistic possibility, the development of coatings and surface treatments for Mg alloys, as well... 

Figure 5 shows the typical thickness/penetration capabilities of various coating and surface treatments. As indicated in the figure, some surfaceengineering treatments penetrate into the surface and there is no intentional buildup on the surface. These are the surface-engineering processes described in Chapters 4 and 5. Other surface treatments coat or intentionally build up the surface. This is a selection factor. Can a part tolerate a buildup on the surface If not, the selection process is narrowed to the...

More recently, new surface treatments using non-isothermal, low-temperature plasma have drawn a great deal of interest. Plasma-chemical methods suitable for coating and surface treatment replace conventional galvanic methods, because they are not as harmful to the environment as the classical ones (see Section 5.4.2).
