What are the different types of surface treatments?

Surface treatments are applied to a variety of materials to enhance their properties or improve their appearance. Some common types of surface treatments include coatings, such as paint or powder coatings, which provide protection against corrosion and wear. Plating involves depositing a thin layer of metal onto a substrate to improve conductivity or enhance aesthetics. Surface treatments like anodizing can be used on metals to increase corrosion resistance and create a durable finish. Other techniques, such as shot peening or laser surface modification, are used to improve the mechanical properties of materials. Overall, the choice of surface treatment depends on the material, desired outcome, and application requirements.
