Cursus  : Tribology and Surface Engineering

1) Definition

  Surface engineering aims to investigate surface properties, morphology-structure-  chemical composition, in order to improve and to develop for industrial aplications.   More   specifically, it iconsists in optimizing surface properties regarding applied loads as   friction, wear, corrosion, heat transfer, etc …

2) Program

  This course is declined in 3 categories :

  A significant number of industrial applications or case studies are used to highlight the   related theory

3) Aims
