If you're interested in materials, you have to be interested in their surface. That's where components live or die.

For example, if you're trying to design precision components or manufacturing tooling that has to stand up to real-world conditions in an industrial environment, you have to deal with wear mechanisms like friction, abrasion, adhesion, corrosion, fracture-fatigue and more. And it all starts at the surface.

Anything you can do to engineer enhanced ...
