We understand the important applications of surface  processes in many fields. We can see the important position in modern manufacturing.

Obviously, whether it is daily industrial products or professional industrial products, from household appliances to children’s toys, from transport to working machine, from communication equipment to instrumentation, all industrial products in the manufacturing process, all of the surface treatment technology to use one or several technologies and processes to achieve product design or market needs of the function.

It can be said that there is no surface engineering, there is no modern manufacturing. These techniques or arts relate to the surface decoration of the product, the protection of the product in a variety of use environments, and the availability of specific requirements, and so on.

And these surface technology in the product application, specific to a series of surface processing plants or processes. Become one of the most important types of work or workmanship in modern manufacturing, some of which are familiar to us, and some are less understood by the public.

We are familiar with such as coating construction, heat treatment, electroplating processing, etc., more professional table Engineering technology, such as thermal spraying, vacuum plating (physical vapor deposition, chemical vapor deposition), laser surface treatment, ion implantation, hot-dip plating, brush plating, electroless plating, electrophoresis, conversion membrane, molecular membrane technology.

Taking laser surface treatment as an example, this is a new technique to modify the surface of the material with a laser beam as energy. Including laser melting, laser surface hardening, laser repair, and laser catalysis.

This surface treatment technology is especially suitable for topical surface treatment of special materials. Because the laser beam can gather high energy beam at high speed, it only happens in the scanning area and does not affect the performance of the scanning zone.

And can be achieved through the electronic computer 3D stereo scanning, which can be used for the need for 3D electronic line interconnection of the circuit manufacturing. Now almost everyone holds the built-in antenna in the mobile phone, is the use of laser 3D electroplating technology manufactured.

This shows that surface treatment technology plays an important role in the modern manufacturing industry chain.

However, the traditional surface engineering technology in the application process of most of the processes involved in environmental issues.

This is because the materials used in the surface treatment or the process involved all kinds of chemicals and organics.

The waste gas, wastewater, and waste residue produced by these substances during the manufacturing process will cause serious harm to the environment if they are discharged freely. And in the production process to the production personnel’s body, also poses the threat.

Therefore, the surface treatment industry is relatively prominent industry pollution. In the period of extensive industrial development, this industry has already polluted the environment and become a heavy burden on the back of industrial society.

As a result, all countries have strict laws and regulations on pollution control, to carry out strict environmental assessment and admittance systems for all polluting industries including the surface treatment industry, in order to protect the increasingly fragile ecological environment.

At the same time, with the development and application of environmentally friendly green surface treatment technology and technology, the surface finishing industry needs to continue to pursue the goal.

Admittedly, China’s manufacturing industry is a large and not strong situation, in the Surface engineering field appears more prominent.

This is because of the principle of surface treatment technology in the process of application, the equipment has broad adaptability, so that a large number of low-end, relying on manual operation of the process, still have application space.

These traditional and backward processes, not only to the environment pose a threat, but also low productivity, high energy consumption, is bound to be eliminated.

And modern manufacturing needs strong surface treatment industry support, the surface treatment industry to reduce the backward capacity, the need for advanced capacity replacement and filling,

This is an important challenge in the process of the manufacturing industry in our country. It is also the biggest challenge facing the surface engineering industry.
