The document discusses wear and techniques to improve wear resistance. It defines different types of wear including adhesive, abrasive, corrosive, surface fatigue, and erosion wear. Traditional techniques to improve wear resistance such as painting, electroplating, and galvanization are described. More advanced techniques like physical vapor deposition, chemical vapor deposition, ion implantation, and laser coating are also summarized. The presentation provides details on each technique and their effects on wear resistance.
