    5. Surface coatings

    A surface coating consists in replacing the original surface of a component with a new surface with properties better suited to its functional requirements. This substitution can involve a wide range of materials - polymers, metals, ceramics - and techniques. More specifically, we focus on coatings more geared towards tribological applications.

    5.1 Polymer coatings – Plastic coating

    Polymer coatings can be applied by various deposition techniques:

    • by electrostatic processes ;

    • with a blowtorch ;

    • fluidized bed ;

    • by projection ;

    • by bonding film to components ;

    • ...
