This technology not only improves surface wetting characteristics but also activates surfaces for multifunctionality and enhances residual stress behavior, corrosion resistance, and tribological characteristics. Moreover, laser-induced deposition, alloying, and shock processing further expand the capabilities of surface treatment methods. Areas such as the aerospace, automotive, biomedical, energy, and marine industries depend on materials that possess strong core properties alongside tailored surfaces for wear resistance, corrosion protection, heat stability, or biocompatibility.
