Surface Preparation- Objectives
Definition:

The objectives of Surface preparation are:

Care must be taken to ensure that the surface preparation processes do not change the surface in an undesirable or in an uncontrolled manner!

Surface Preparation- Specifications
What is a standard?
A standard is a document that provides requirements, specifications, guidelines or characteristics that can be used consistently to ensure that materials, products, processes or services are fit for their purpose.

Who prepare standards?
Standards are created by a wide variety of organizations (Professional societies,
Industrial or Manufacturing Associations, Governmental Agencies, Companies, and International Bodies)
ISONISTDOESAEASMEASTM-

International Organization for Standardization
National Institute of Standards and Technology
Department of Energy
Society of Automotive Engineers
American Society of Mechanical Engineers
American Society for Testing and Materials

Surface Preparation- Requirements
Surface Preparation depends on the requirements:

The requirements range from those concerned with monolayer coverage and atomically clean surfaces, to gross cleaning such as used for fusion welding.

(1) Surface Modification
What is Surface modification?
- Chemical & (micro-) structural changes of the top surface by removing, adding, or activating the material to enhance the surface engineering process
- The depth of the modification depends on the requirements

(2) Cleaning Process
A “clean” surface is one that contains no significant amounts of undesirable material.
What constitutes a clean surface depends on the process and the requirements. (a) External Surface Preparation: It is conducted as
