Surface treatment refers to any process that modifies the surface of a material to improve its properties. These treatments can enhance durability, aesthetics, functionality, or a combination of these aspects. The goal is to alter the outermost layer of the material without significantly changing its bulk properties.

Common types of surface treatments include coatings, platings, and conversion coatings. Coatings involve applying a layer of another material onto the surface. This can be done through methods like painting, powder coating, or electroplating, where a thin metal layer is deposited. Platings are a specific type of coating, often used for decorative purposes or to provide corrosion resistance, such as chrome plating or zinc plating. Conversion coatings, on the other hand, chemically alter the surface of the substrate to form a protective or decorative layer, like anodizing aluminum or phosphating steel.

Surface treatments are applied across a wide range of industries. In automotive manufacturing, they protect against corrosion and improve appearance. In electronics, they ensure conductivity and prevent oxidation. In construction, they enhance weather resistance and aesthetics of building materials. The choice of surface treatment depends on the base material, the desired properties, and the intended application. Proper preparation of the surface before treatment is crucial for achieving optimal adhesion and performance of the applied finish.
