Abstract
Abstract In the past few decades, significant efforts were directed toward development of surface engineering approaches for the economical processing of materials with enhanced appearance, improved performance/extended life in aggressive environment, and wider range of applicability. As a result, the number of surface engineered materials being used for varied applications has increased rapidly emphasizing the need for better means for the characterization of the surface properties of such materials. With the recent progress in surface characterization techniques, it is now possible to measure a range of surface properties (topography, microstructure, mechanical properties, and electrochemical behavior) at various length scales. In this chapter, surface properties of materials, their measurements methods, and various available standards for a broad range of materials are summarized. The topics presented in this chapter will be useful to materials engineers, quality engineers, and scientists working on characterization/measurement of surface properties.
