Welcome to the Surface Engineering Division

The application of surface engineering is vital to the success of almost every commercial and industrial product: from aero engines to aeroplanes, from iPods to surgical implants and from razor blades to racing cars. Surface engineering is a critical enabling technology that underpins every industrial and manufacturing sector. The new Surface Engineering Division Strategy encompasses the needs of British Industry to enable predictive design of important components and products to be achieved with the minimum of waste and utilising more sustainable materials using environmentally friendly processes.
