Abstract

The role of coatings is significant in the advancement of technologies for applications in the optics, auto, and aerospace industries. A high percentage (75%) of aircraft engine components is coated by metallic or ceramic coatings for the purpose of enhancing performance and reliability. Thus, there is a continuous effort to engineer surface properties to enhance the life of components under severe environmental conditions where corrosion, high-temperature oxidation, and wear are concerns. Similarly, multi-layered ceramic and metallic films are used in the fabrication of microelectronic components. Processes to control thin film properties are also extremely important in the microelectronic industry.
