The purpose of this Conference is to provide an interactive
forum for a multidisciplinary discussion on the science and technology of surface-related phenomena for all materials. Both experimental and theoretical aspects which highlight, develop and uti l i se approaches to understand and improve surface phenomena have been sought. The conference will provide a forum for presenting the latest advances by research workers and engineers from industry, academia and research laboratories. Emphasis will be placed on real world applications.
The conference will concentrate on 4 major topics
(which will result in 4 symposia): A- NATURE, ENVIRONMENT AND SURFACES
B- THERMAL SPRAYING
C- EMERGENT/ADVANCED INDUSTRIAL APPLICATIONS
D- ARTS AND SURFACES
Oral contributions will be first welcomed in these fields. This, however, does not exclude submission
dealing with, e.g.:
High temperature coatings - Biomedical coatings
- Wear - Laser processing - PVD & CVD processes
- Applications of advanced coatings in air craft/aerospace, automobile, marine & electronics industries - Non destructive testing.
- Surface hardening processes - Plasma-assisted and ion beam techniques - Testing of coatings - Residual stresses - Sample preparation techniques, metallography
- Advanced surface investigation techniques - Modelling...
