Surface engineering technology includes three main techniques: surface transformation and modification technology, thin film technology, and coating technology. Surface transformation techniques are as follows: Surface deformation strengthening: shot peening, rolling strengthening, hole extrusion strengthening – to create compressive stress zones on the metal surface and in the subsurface layer. Surface heat flux strengthening: induction heating surface quenching, laser surface quenching, electron beam surface quenching, fluidized bed surface hardening – these methods create new phase transformation zones on the metal surface and in the subsurface layer, thereby forming hardened areas. Ion implantation: Non-metal ion implantation — boron, nitrogen, phosphorus ; Metal ion implantation — chromium, tantalum, silver, lead, tin ; Composite ion implantation – titanium + carbon, chromium + carbon, chromium + molybdenum, chromium + phosphorus. Surface alloying: Surface diffusion of non-metallic elements — carburizing, nitriding, boriding, silicidizing, carbonitriding ; Surface diffusion of metal elements — zinc, tin, beryllium, aluminum, chromium, tungsten, molybdenum, vanadium ; Surface diffusion of composite elements — aluminized chromium, aluminum silicon, aluminum titanium, copper indium, aluminum chromium silicon, tungsten molybdenum boron silicon.
