Surface Engineering: Technology Designed To Modify Surface Properties

Metallic and non-metallic surfaces of different materials are often subjected to altering of properties especially pertaining to material surface, either for decorative or functional purposes. Brining about corrosion resistance in order to extend component life, or giving a bit of cosmetic look to make items visually more attractive, modifying properties like lubrication, creating non-stick surfaces are some of the activities that come under this category. However these actions are also classified according to the technical processes that are followed in those methods. Electroplating, electro-polishing are methods that are followed to coat a metal surface. In these methods, metals and alloys like copper, nickel, gold and tin are applied by reduction electrolysis methods. Another method is by using any suitable paint, primer, pre-coat, which may either be water based or oil based. In these methods, the material is subjected to dipping, coating, spraying or applying by a suitable device like brush or rollers. Organic dry powders are sometimes used to coat the metal surfaces. This is usually carried out by electrostatic spraying or by techniques like fluidised bed methodologies. This process is commonly known as powder coating. In addition to these methodologies another process that is quite often used is the heat treatment. In this method, certain gases are included to alter the metallurgical structure, looks and properties of a material. This process usually makes the material either soft or hard. It may also change the composition to some extent, especially in certain cases where unique modifications are desired. A common process of coating a metal surface is galvanizing. This is usually carried out in case of ferrous articles. Here molten zinc or sometimes an alloy of zinc is used to create a thick layer in order to protect against corrosion. Other very well-known process is the tinning, in this process materials are simply dipped into molten tin, where in a reasonably thick layer of tin gets coated on the material surface. Vitreous enamelling is one of the techniques where the application of metallic glass on material surface is carried out by dipping them in liquids and spraying techniques.

Denmark’s largest energy community is now under construction, featuring more than 30,000 sqm of solar rooftops with a total capacity of about 4 MW. The project will use building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) on pitched roofs and building-attached photovoltaics (BAPV) on flat roofs from Danish specialist Solartag.

“It’s also one of the first to combine local power generation, architecture and citizen ownership in a way that’s scalable,” Karlsson added. “That’s what the energy transition needs – solutions that work technically, socially, and visually.”

“The batteries allow the community to store daytime surplus for evening use, provide local peak shaving and sell flexibility back to the national grid via market-based system services,” added Solartag's spokesperson.

Gerald Cinamon

Chief designer for Penguin Books with a flair for pacing illustrated nonfiction, such as with Pelican’s Style and Civilization series

Gerald Cinamon, who has died aged 93, was one of the most skilled book designers of his generation. For 20 years from 1965 he was Penguin Books’ main designer of arts and architecture titles, becoming its chief designer in the mid-1970s.

A master of the paste-up method of layout, Cinamon was particularly adept at pacing illustrated books. From one spread to the next he would shift visual emphasis from vertical to horizontal, wide-angle to close-up, empty to full, synchronising these switches of treatment with key points in the text.

His debut for Penguin in 1961 coincided with two key events for the company: its acquittal in the Lady Chatterley’s Lover trial, and its employment of Germano Facetti, who recharged its cover designs for a new decade. But it was Kaye Webb, new editor at the Puffin imprint, who instigated the body of work for which Cinamon would become best known.

Webb had compiled a volume of her husband Ronald Searle’s St Trinian’s cartoons, and handed Cinamon, then a freelancer, “a box of jumbled clippings” from which to create a Penguin edition. He would paste up layouts at his kitchen table in Notting Hill, west London, surrounded by manuscripts, proofs and the aroma of Cow Gum, downing tools when his daughters returned from school.

The St Trinian’s Story (1961) led to further commissions for illustrated Penguins, and Cinamon unintentionally became a specialist in this field, at a time when letterpress was rapidly being replaced by offset litho as the means of printing books.

Where type and images had previously occupied two discrete planes – pictures on their own pages, often on coated art paper – litho enabled designers to place picture and text side-by-side, and Cinamon took advantage of this, interweaving halftones and line images with set type to make a verbal–visual narrative. His flair for sequencing nonfiction books led him to become the main designer of Pelican series of the 60s and 70s such as Style and Civilization and The Architect and Society.

The integrated method was also crucial to John Berger’s Success and Failure of Picasso (1965). There the author indicated precise points within the text where images were to be placed. When Cinamon inevitably found that this was not always possible, Penguin dispatched him to Geneva to resolve the layout with Berger.

In 1966 Penguin launched a hardback imprint, for which Cinamon designed A Fortunate Man: The Story of a Country Doctor, written by Berger and with photographs by Jean Mohr. The contrast between these two books for Berger demonstrates the span of Cinamon’s repertoire, despite the contextual similarities (same author, same publisher, single-colour print, a hand-held format).

Where Success and Failure’s layout rolled line by line with Berger’s polemic, A Fortunate Man’s images did not correlate with points in the text, and this allowed Cinamon to “write” the text–photo combinations, and the overall rhythm, in his own way. His arrangement is particularly effective in contrasting man with his rural environment: 45 pages pass before a human figure appears in the photographs.

Though sometimes categorised as a proponent of the objective, modernist Swiss style of graphic design, Cinamon’s solutions to briefs were far broader than that tag implies. His colleague Tony Kitzinger remembers his outlook as being “Swiss, tempered by New England”.

Born in Boston, Massachusetts, Jerry was the younger son of Pearl (nee Hirschberg) and Max, a liquor salesman. He initially studied at Massachusetts School of Art, and in 1953 joined the US Navy. He was then accepted by the department of graphic arts at Yale University, where his teachers included Alvin Eisenman, Armin Hofmann, Norman Ives, Josef Albers, Herbert Matter and Paul Rand.

Graduating in 1957, Cinamon received a Fulbright scholarship for the Ecole des Arts et Métiers in Paris, but found the approach there outmoded, so drove to Switzerland to study further with Hofmann in Basel. He was thus influenced first-hand by several key strands of the modern movement, from the Bauhaus to the new American advertising.

On the way home from Europe he met Diana Philcox, a recent textiles graduate from the Central School of Arts and Crafts in London. In New York Cinamon freelanced for publishers, and took up a one-year contract at Standard Oil of New Jersey (subsequently Exxon). In 1959 he and Philcox married, and in the following year moved with their twin baby daughters to Britain. Cinamon’s first clients in London included New Left Books and the Jewish-interest publisher Soncino.

After more than 20 years with Penguin, he left in 1985 to form a partnership with Kitzinger, who said of his former partner: “When I think of Jerry I do not see the kind of designer who shuffles little bits of paper around on a sheet. He would know, in advance, what he was realising.”

In 1987 Cinamon guest-edited a special issue of the trade journal Monotype Recorder in memory of Hans Schmoller, the exacting production director at Penguin (1949-76), who had been a “father figure” to him. He also wrote on the work of artist-designers including Talwin Morris, Ben Shahn and Emil Rudolf Weiß.

His biography of the type designer Rudolf Koch (2000), includes an apparently stray anecdote about a “young Berliner” who in 1933 had applied to become one of Koch’s students but had been turned away. The young Berliner was Schmoller.

Cinamon’s third daughter, Hannah, died in 2023. He is survived by Diana, their daughters Sara, Kate and Beth, eight grandchildren and a great-granddaughter.

Powder Coating Metal: The Ultimate Guide to Superior Metal Finishing Solutions

Powder coating metal has revolutionised the way industries approach surface finishing, offering unparalleled durability and aesthetic appeal that traditional liquid paints simply cannot match. This advanced finishing technique involves applying dry powder particles electrostatically to metal surfaces, creating a protective barrier that withstands harsh environmental conditions whilst maintaining exceptional visual quality.

Understanding the Powder Coating Process

The powder coating metal process begins with thorough surface preparation, typically involving sandblasting or chemical cleaning to ensure optimal adhesion. Metal components are then suspended in a spray booth where electrostatically charged powder particles are applied using specialised spray guns. The electrostatic charge ensures even distribution and attracts powder particles to every surface contour, eliminating common issues like runs, sags, and drips associated with conventional painting methods.

Exceptional Durability and Performance

When powder coating metal surfaces, the curing process creates a chemical bond that delivers superior resistance to chipping, scratching, fading, and corrosion. Unlike traditional paint systems, powder coated finishes maintain their integrity for decades, making them ideal for automotive components, outdoor furniture, architectural applications, and industrial equipment. The thickness uniformity achieved through powder coating ensures consistent protection across complex geometries and hard-to-reach areas.

Environmental and Economic Advantages

Powder coating metal processes offer significant environmental benefits compared to solvent-based alternatives. The system produces virtually no volatile organic compounds (VOCs), contributing to cleaner air quality and regulatory compliance. Additionally, overspray powder can be reclaimed and reused, achieving utilisation rates exceeding 95% and substantially reducing material waste. These factors combine to create compelling cost savings whilst supporting sustainability objectives.

Versatile Applications Across Industries

The versatility of powder coating metal extends across numerous sectors, from architectural ironwork requiring weather resistance to precision engineering components demanding chemical compatibility. Automotive manufacturers utilise powder coating for chassis components, wheels, and trim pieces, whilst appliance producers rely on this technology for durable, easy-to-clean surfaces. The extensive colour palette and texture options available enable designers to achieve specific aesthetic requirements without compromising performance.

Quality Considerations and Best Practices

Successful powder coating metal requires careful attention to substrate preparation, powder selection, and curing parameters. Professional application ensures proper film thickness, typically ranging from 25-100 microns depending on performance requirements. Certified applicators understand the critical relationship between metal type, powder chemistry, and cure conditions necessary to achieve optimal adhesion and longevity.

Choosing Professional Powder Coating Services

When selecting powder coating metal services, evaluate facilities based on equipment capabilities, quality certifications, and track record with similar applications. Leading providers offer comprehensive testing protocols, including adhesion testing, salt spray evaluation, and colour matching verification to ensure consistent results.

Powder coating metal represents the gold standard in protective finishing, delivering unmatched durability, environmental responsibility, and aesthetic versatility for today’s demanding applications.

China is working on a successor combat jet to the J-20

China's next-generation fighter will be able to feature AI, drones, advanced engines, better situational awareness, better stealth and C4ISR capabilities.

China is actively working on a next-generation jet fighter to succeed its J-20 stealth fighter, which is undergoing constant updates.

This information was recently released by Li Gang, the test pilot who carried out the inaugural flight of the J-20, as reported by China Central Television (CCTV) on Wednesday.

“The J-20 is constantly improving, keeping up with the times and continuously improving its mission system to achieve the expected combat objectives,” Li said.

Since the J-20's first test flight in 2011, China's aviation technologies have advanced rapidly, overtaking many other countries, according to Fu Qianshao, a Chinese military aviation specialist, who spoke to the Global Times on Thursday.

Fu detailed that the latest technologies, including changes in aerodynamic design, new engines and advances in avionics, radar systems, software and materials, have been integrated into the J-20. He pointed out that these updates position the J-20 as a leader among advanced fighters, noting that the U.S. F-22s have not undergone significant updates since its creation, making its technology relatively outdated.

Chinese observers indicate that China is already preparing for the next generation of fighters, a need given that the US and other countries have begun to develop sixth-generation aircraft. “As the technology of our country's aviation industry continues to develop, the next generation will certainly be launched soon,” Li said.

Fu stated that China, which initially lagged behind the U.S. at the beginning of the development of the J-20, has now reached or possibly surpassed the U.S. in terms of next-generation jet fighter technology. Analysts expect the new warplane to incorporate an open architecture, facilitating rapid development, production and upgrades, similar to the J-20.

Although specific details about China's next-generation jet fighter remain undisclosed, global trends suggest the inclusion of artificial intelligence, loyal drones, advanced engines for higher speeds, greater situational awareness, better stealth capabilities and functioning as a C4ISR (command, control, communications node, computers, intelligence, surveillance and recognition).

AI for Architects

There is a clear role for AI in the field of Architecture which is to support Architects  by providing an intuitive, reliable, and up to date basis for the calculable and legislative aspects of practice, leaving architects free to determine what is pleasing to human beings, that is, delight.

Human beings are the sole arbiters of what is pleasing to human beings.

The institutional, professional and social frameworks for the practice of architecture enable the socialization of insights into what is pleasing . That is the education of taste.

It is useful to clarify the difference between the positive and arbitrary beauties as defined by Claude Perrault. For him, the positive beauties should be taken for granted as a logical, rational and reliable support to the arbitrary beauties, which rely solely on taste. Positive could be seen as scientific areas such as structural integrity, affordability, functional fit , and compliance with codes of practice and legislation. Arbitrary would include that which is pleasing and appropriate. It was clear to Perrault that the arbitrary beauties are much more important because they are developed in the ever changing world of shared human experience.

Taking the full list of Vitruvian categories of what constitutes architecture, ie. Order, arrangement, eurythmy, symmetry, propriety, economy.; or the summary by Sir Henry Wooton in the more commonly known ‘Commodity firmness delight’, these can be divided into positive and arbitrary characteristics. Attribute the support of positive beauties to AI, leaving architects free to determine the overall framework of goals which any particular work should embody. This parallels the division between the Ecole Polytechnique and the Beaux Arts.

Far from being trivial, good taste is the very goal of the whole process and it relies on the whole structure of social and institutionalized sharing of comparisons between products by human beings for human beings, engaging the full array of sensibilities embodied by us.

We should ensure that AI remains the servant of architects, who could remain the arbiters of appropriateness, and judges of relative success in delight.

It may be more appropriate to refer to humans rather than architects in the above particularly in a democratic society,  but Architects are specialists in quality of life and determinations of good taste, and it is to this group that these questions are primarily addressed. Architects should not fear the development of AI but as a profession should ensure that it remains a servant and does not become a tyrant.
