kuorimateriaali
Kuorimateriaali is a Finnish compound word that combines "kuori," meaning "shell" or "layer," with "materiaali," meaning "material." In industrial and scientific contexts the term generally refers to a protective or functional coating that is applied to a substrate to provide specific properties such as wear resistance, corrosion protection, optical functionality, or aesthetic appearance. The concept is analogous to surface engineering disciplines found worldwide, encompassing paints, varnishes, silicones, polymers, metal alloys, and ceramic or glass layers.
Manufacturing techniques for kuorimateriaali include wet processes such as spraying, brushing or dipping; dry processes such
Functional categories of kuorimateriaali are often classified by their dominant mechanism. Abrasion‑resistant coatings provide high hardness
Quality control of kuorimateriaali is carried out through spectroscopy, microscopy, adhesion testing and service‑life simulation. International
