Abstract
Various metallic materials such as stainless steel, mild steel, aluminum, and their alloys have been used in cooling water, petroleum pipeline, and other applications. During the transport of oil, petrol, diesel, and water through pipelines, there is a possibility of bacterial invasion inside and outside the wall of pipelines, which is highly detrimental to pipeline durability. In addition, the external environment such as temperature, soil pH, and microbiota surrounding the pipelines will majorly influence the material deformation on the surface of pipelines. To overcome the above issues, there is a need to modify the inner and outer surfaces of pipelines to enhance the durability of the material. Hence, the present chapter deals with different types of substrate preparation, coating techniques, and thin-film growth kinetics to modify the pipeline surfaces. Furthermore, this chapter gives an overall idea about the appropriate procedure for modifying the surface to obtain smooth and uniform deposition.
