Abstract
VTT's research program on surface technology accomplished
in 1991-1993 focused
on a few
selected and current subjects in surface tecnology in
order to create deeper
understanding of the
problems relevant to future developments and technologies
to be used by the
Finninsh industries.
The topics of the program included diamond and diamond
like coating
technologies, surface
phenomena of stainless steels in sulphur containing
environments and interface
phenomena in
metal matrix composites, coatings and diffusion bonding.
The results of the
program are
presented in this symposium proceedings and in more
details in the technical
reports and articles
published in the course of the projects.
During the course of the program many changes occurred
especially among the
participating
industries where the economical recession that Finland
has experienced over the
past few years
has resulted in many structural changes. However, the
main goals of the program
were achieved
and I would like to thank all the participants - those
who have worked for the
projects as well
as the management committeé members for their valuable
contributions to this
program.
