Role of Additives on Metal Coating Substrate Surface

Coating is the most demanding cost-effective process for all high valued structural and functional materials. To meet the various market demands, further modification of the coating surface is highly essential. In this chapter, the additive modified metal coating has been discussed with respect to different parameters. Implementation and physibility of metal, ceramic, polymeric and organic additives on metal surface have been discussed. It is found that the additive modified coating able to enhance the wear property, the corrosion property as well as the optical property of the structure. This chapter demonstrated the surface physical and chemical properties correlated with the matrix-reinforced materials cohesiveness and compatibility with the applied area.
