Several new surface treatments and modifications of older, conventional surface treatments for both metals and polymers have been introduced over the last few years to provide alternatives to the common processes.
These developments are the result of the introduction of new materials as substrates and ongoing efforts to develop bonding systems with higher initial strength and environmental resistance. However, environmental regulations and productivity have also been the strong driving factors.
This article deals with some of the interesting surface treatment processes that are developed in the recent past. Few examples include:
» Chromate-free Etching Process
» Excimer Laser Surface Treatment
» Surface Irradiation with UV Light
» And a lot more…
Read more and find out the details of these advanced surface treatment processes for easier and faster processing.
