Indian scientists have claimed to have found a new technique of synthesizing thin hard surface coatings by high-velocity air fuel spraying. According to them, this has the potential of an environment-friendly and safer alternative to hard chrome plating used in car parts, tools, and kitchen utensils.
The present article discusses aluminum coating with silazane and other metals through laser treatment. The resulting silazane-coated aluminum substrate enhances hardness over conventional processes and is suitable for wear protection.
