Manufacturing Microstructured Surfaces for Automotive Applications

  • Conference paper
  • First Online:

Abstract

Every manufactured part has a surface finish, and this finish affects many attributes of the part including: water or oil repellency, friction coefficient, or appearance. This paper describes how microstructures can be manufactured into the surface of real manufactured metal parts with a focus on the application of water repellency.
